BELMONT, N.C. — Downtown Belmont has a new edition that is already a successful operation, for some very special reasons. Market On Main, located at 124 North Main Street, sells products mostly created by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Besides the one-of-a-kind creations, you’ll also find some delicious dishes, off the menu at Cherubs Café. Both of these businesses are part of Holy Angels, whose mission is to provide “remarkable care and opportunities for intellectual and developmental difficulties”.
In addition to Market On Main, Holy Angels’ Life Choices Program is also located there. The Life Choices Program offers a comprehensive selection of activities and experiences designed to support adaptive skill development and enhance social, emotional, pre-vocational, and personal independence.
This specialized program includes daily living skills like cooking, financial management and literacy. Also included are creative arts, healthy living and wellness. Computer training and social skills, including community integration are additional components of the program as well.
Small Business Saturday will be the perfect shopping day at Market On Main, a block from the center of downtown Belmont. All of the hand-crafted gifts make it the perfect destination for Christmas shopping. Everything inside Market On Main is unique and inexpensive. They sell everything from bracelets to Christmas plates, to one-of-a-kind decorations.
The shop is open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Monday through Saturday.
