Hi y’all! Happy spring 🌺🌷🌹

Here are some updates and continuations to the ecoworks store!

As we have immunocompromised volunteers and customers, we ask that you continue to mask in the store. We have masks to give you if you do not have your own!

Additionally, we are having a moratorium on donations (aside from beads, yarn, and buttons) from March 14th - April 18th. This will allow us some breathing room to put recently donated materials out, and organize what we’ve got!

As always, we so appreciate our community’s support of our store and our mission. Thanks for being here!
