🚨Can you help us again?

SIGGGHHH! The high winds yesterday unfortunately left us a little banged up again.

We’ll be looking to replace the left-hand door fully but need a bit of time to figure things out!

In the meantime, can anyone spare some time and materials to temporarily board up our tattered door?

‼️DM us ‼️

🔗 We still have a few spots left! Link in bio to scoop them up!

This is one of the freshly carved stamps you can use at our fundraiser THIS Wed, March 18 from 7 to 9 PM 💌

We’ll still have all you need for your patches, but we’re also inviting folks to BYOS (bring your own stamps/stencils).

Printmaking is such a fun art form to experiment with, and you’d be surprised by how many ✨hidden-stamp-potentials✨ you might have lying around, like plastic forks, LEGO blocks, dice, plant materials, and more! 🍴☘️🎲🍂

2️⃣ days ‘til our holiday silent auction goes live online!

🤩 we’ll have over $5,200 of LOCAL goods and services up for grabs

📊 on average, silent auction items go home with bidders for about 50% of their value, so you could walk away with some really amazing goodies for a STEAL!!

💰if we raise just half of our listings value:

➡️ we could cover about 4 MONTHS of stocking

➡️ this means we could cover 32 weekly grocery and hygiene shops

➡️ alternatively, we could increase our weekly grocery shops from $100 to $200 (we know $100 definitely doesn’t go that far!)

➡️ this means we could spend about $1,700 on food over 3 months

👋 looking forward to seeing you in the bids starting THIS Friday, Dec. 5!
