Give Back on Mission Mondays Every Monday, you have the opportunity to give back to those who need it most by shopping at Altar’d State. 10% of net proceeds on Mondays go directly to local charities. Throughout the year, they support organizations who feed the hungry, assist service men and women, boost self-esteem, love on those undergoing treatment and house the homeless.
