Shop for Survivors: Downtown Columbus Businesses Give Back October 23–24

Last Updated 10/21/2026

A little shopping, a meal with friends, and a community coming together can make a difference. On Friday and Saturday, October 23–24, 2026, participating downtown Columbus businesses invite you to Shop for Survivors, raising awareness for survivors of domestic violence while supporting the Center for Survivors.

During the event, 10% of all sales at participating businesses will be donated to the Center for Survivors. It’s an opportunity to explore the Trackside District, support local businesses, and help those businesses give back to our community.

Whether you’re getting an early start on holiday shopping, treating yourself to something special, or making plans to dine downtown, consider including these participating businesses in your weekend.

Local Businesses, Community Impact

Our downtown businesses do more than provide places to shop, dine, and gather. They also help build a caring, connected community. Shop for Survivors is one example of how local businesses can work together to bring attention to an important cause and turn everyday purchases into community support.

Thank you to every participating business for giving back and to everyone who chooses to shop and dine with them during this event.

Take a stroll Trackside on October 23–24 and join us as we Shop for Survivors!
