Hello Friends. Since we opened, we have avoided being overtly political (but with a name like Tree Huggers...). We have strived to help our local makers, businesses, and organizations as much as we can because we sincerely believe in the concept of community. Our motto has always been that the future is local, which means all of us.
It is in that same spirit that we have decided to stand in solidarity with the May 1 national strike, which urges us to bring economic activity to a halt in protest of corruption and the abuse of federal power.
Therefore, we will be closed this Friday, May 1. We ask that you take what money you might have spent at our shop on Friday and donate it to the Allenspark Food Bank. Next time you're in the shop, you can donate via their donation jar, or send your donation directly to the Food Bank, c/o The Old Gallery.
