Freebie Friday!

Friday, October 7 at 12:00pm
During the course of its many upgrades and changes, the Co-op accumulates an interesting assortment of one-of-a-kind dishes, storage containers, tchotchkes, etc. As environmentalists, we don’t like to throw anything useful away, but sometimes the Co-op needs to make some space...

So Friday October 7th, for each item you purchase at the Co-op, you’ll get one FREE item from this assortment. Come by and check out our stash!

Please RSVP to the Facebook event here.
