This Valentine’s Day show your love for our local businesses and receive a free gift card!

Beginning February 10, 2025:

MAKE A PURCHASE…at a business in the downtown district (a complete list can be found on our website).
GET A DOWNTOWN GIFT CARD…Downtown State College Improvement District will give you a free Downtown Gift Card as a “thank you” for supporting local! Downtown Gift Cards are accepted at over 100 downtown businesses.

It’s simple, here’s how…

-Spend $100 at one (or more) downtown merchants and receive a $25 Downtown Gift Card*
-Spend $200 or more at one (or more) downtown merchants and receive a $60 Downtown Gift Card*

Simply show us your receipts and we will provide you the gift card on the spot at 127 S Fraser Street (9am-5pm Monday-Friday). 

Want to pay it forward? The Improvement District will happily accept gift card donations to Centre Helps, a local organization that operates a 24/7 crisis hotline providing suicide prevention, emotional support and resource connections for our friends and neighbors in need.

Stock is limited and the offer is valid while supplies last…and we expect them to go quickly!
