Food Aid

This store is a fun, professional, and welcoming place. The staff is always on top of their work and know how to build lasting personal and positive relationships with customers. The products are beautiful and they all go to a great cause. Will shop there frequently, especially after knowing how great the staff is at their job and that the owner is dedicated to women's rights and fair trade.

Really cool shop and very helpful staff. I was looking for a specific pair of earrings and they took my name and number and said they would call if they got the earrings in again. They actually called! Join the email list for sales
