Sass at Home also gives back to the community with its monthly “Shop for a Cause” events, where customers get 10% off and another 10% of weekend sales goes to local nonprofits. Causes supported include animal shelters, food banks, senior assistance programs and many more, highlighting the store’s commitment to the community. Mindy Sass’s dedication to her community runs deep, and her work extends beyond her gift store and showroom. As president of the Merchants’ Toy ‘N
