Northwest Made Holiday Market

Mercy Corps launched an online market for 100 small business owners after the COVID pandemic caused sales for entrepreneurs to come to a halt.

The online market was a shared site for entrepreneurs to join, sell, and use the power of community to drive sales for one another.

Leigh led the vision for the campaign by establishing a market, website, and managing all marketing for the initiative.

The $2,000 I made at the market was the reason my business stayed afloat this season. I cannot thank you enough for hosting this event!
