Foothold Market

Foothold Market Makers from Appalachia to Africa: A Market with a global purpose. Foothold Soaps are hand-made with only essential, wholesome products.

These soaps are made by hand and support Foothold International as they work to provide clean water & sanitation to Kenya, East Africa. Visit our website at www.footholdinternational.org

Our ladies group, the Namelok Ladies told us, “The word Namelok means “something sweet” in the Masai language.” In the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Kenya, East Africa, the Namelok women’s group chose the name bec

ause they said, “Where God is, you will find something sweet.”

Through the provision of a microloan, the women started a soap-making business, providing affordable soap to their community and donating soap to local school children. While this soap was made in the USA, your purchase directly supports the Namelok women’s group and helps to start more groups like Namelok to empower vulnerable women and provide affordable, sustainable resources to prevent life-threatening diseases in rural indigenous communities in East Africa.

Imagine spending the night inside one of Chillicothe’s most recognizable landmarks!

This special Harambee auction package includes:

-One night in the Tower Suite at the historic Carlisle Building
-$25 gift card to The Coop for breakfast downtown
-A copy of The Carlisle: The History and the Renovation, featuring photographs and stories from the building’s early years, the devastating 2003 fire, and its remarkable restoration

Built in 1885, the Carlisle has survived hardship, uncertainty, and years of waiting to become a beautiful part of downtown Chillicothe once again. This is more than a night away—it’s a chance to experience a piece of our community’s history.

The winning bidder will arrange the date of their stay directly with the Carlisle Building, based on availability.

Bid at Harambee on September 19!

Haller Funeral Home has been there for so many families in our community, including our own family when we needed them. We know personally the comfort and reassurance that come from having Haller show up with compassion, steadiness, and care during a difficult time.

They have also generously supported Foothold events since our very first gala in 2022. We are honored to recognize Haller Funeral Home as a $1,000 sponsor of Harambee 2026!

Thank you, Haller Funeral Home, for caring for local families and continuing to stand alongside Foothold’s mission.

Back by popular demand, a tattoo by Kayley Slaughter is coming to the Harambee live auction!

Kayley has generously supported Foothold events since our very first gala in 2022, and we are grateful to welcome them back as a donor for Harambee 2026.

This year, Kayley is donating one small/medium tattoo, 3–5 inches, for arms or legs only. The tattoo featured in our graphic is the one Cherie Catron won at our spring imPossible Auction and Kayley created. It is a beautiful example of their detailed, personalized work.

Join us at Harambee and be ready to bid!
