Our Brand Story

Star Gabi was created from a deep desire to give back — not just to our local community here in Ridgeway, VA, but to organizations across the United States doing meaningful, life-changing work. For over 40 years, our family has embraced rescue pets, supported animal welfare, and actively participated in school and community programs. These experiences shaped our mission and inspired us to build a store with purpose.

We saw a growing need: families, schools, and animal organizations needed better, easier ways to raise money. Fundraisers were becoming harder, donations were unpredictable, and many groups struggled to find sustainable support. As parents, community members, and long-time rescue pet adopters, we wanted to create a solution — something simple, meaningful, and built around items people already need and buy.

Star Gabi became that solution.

Our store offers everyday essentials, clothing, pet products, home décor, and gifts that people genuinely use and love. But what makes Star Gabi different is why we do it. A portion of every eligible purchase can support fundraisers for:

• ASPCA, SPCA, and Humane Society groups

• Animal rescue organizations and sanctuaries

• Foster-based rescues and no-kill shelters

• PTO, PTA, booster clubs, ASB programs, and school fundraisers

• Music, drama, STEM clubs, and athletic departments

By choosing Star Gabi, you’re not just shopping — you’re helping animals find safety, helping students access opportunities, and helping communities thrive. We believe that when people have an option to give back through the purchases they already make, everyone wins.

Star Gabi exists to make that possible.

Thank you for being part of our mission and helping us make a real difference.
