ShopOnline4Charity.org is run by Phil and Sandy Hov­at­ter of Nor­walk, Ohio. In 1988 we started our first busi­ness, Data Designs Pub­lish­ing with the desire to be able to help fund char­i­ties and non-profit orga­ni­za­tions that make a pos­i­tive impact in their com­mu­nity and in the world at large. While we’ve been able to accom­plish some of that, we think that the idea for ShopOnline4Charity.org has far more poten­tial. We are really excited about it.

See our home page for more infor­ma­tion about how using this site to shop online will directly ben­e­fit the char­ity of your choice. The home page is also a blog that you can par­tic­i­pate in. We will be fea­tur­ing posts by lead­ers of our Char­ity Part­ners, book and prod­uct reviews, and pro­mot­ing spe­cial events help by our part­ner orga­ni­za­tions. But a blog should never be one-way com­mu­ni­ca­tion. We want you to con­tribute your thoughts and com­ments as well. Book­mark our home page and visit it often to stay up-to-date with new Char­ity Part­ners, new Retail Part­ners, spe­cial offers and events, and all that we have to offer.

In addi­tion to this Web site, you might be inter­ested in a blog that Sandy writes. It’s a spir­i­tual jour­nal called www.ApprehendingGrace.com.
