Unless U Shop is a communitywide annual fundraising event for Unless U that seeks to highlight small businesses and hard working individuals who support the Unless U mission and care for Unless U students. This event is also an opportunity for Unless U to spotlight its students and bring the community together for a fun day of shopping, eating and entertainment.

During the event, guests will have the opportunity to learn more about Unless U and its incredible students and will also be able to bid on many silent auction items and enjoy local food trucks and entertainment from the Unless U students.
