Shopping Bags from Cloth for Kids

March 17, 2023

To help reduce waste Steep Hill does not offer grocery or shopping bags to our customers. We instead encourage customers to bring their own bags. However, as an alternative Cloth for Kids provides Steep Hill with handmade reusable cloth shoppings bags for purchase. By purchasing these handmade shopping bags your are supporting our local community by providing funds to support the Cloth for Kids charity. Cloth for Kids will receive 100% of the sale proceeds. Ask our friendly staff at Steep Hill about purchasing a reusable handmade shopping bag.
