located in the short north arts district of columbus, ohio, the scatter joy storefront embodies our mission — a nonprofit concept store centered around creativity, connection, and community care.
open to the public, the storefront blends a retail shop, bookstore, and coffee with a hidden cafe in the back— inviting you to read, work, rest, create, or just be.
every visit, every conversation, and every purchase directly fuels our work — using creativity as a force for change, and making mental health care more accessible and affordable for all.
