HALLOWEEN
That's right, folks. The goblins and ghosts aren't just for suckers.
Here at Treasure City, we've been biting our nails with glee at how
many outstandingly insane costumes and accessories we've been hording
for the last year. All that anticipation for this one month...the
sacred month of October! There's no reason why you should be going
with the traditional superhero, historical figures, or occupational
stereotypes...when you can land at your local creative hub and
discover the meaning of originality.

NEW MERCH
We’ve also added some new sections –there’s an area now for art and craft supplies, prompted by a big donation of sewing and other crafty stuff. Below that is a shelf dedicated to office supplies, and one for tools and gardening things. These can all be found in our back room, between appliances and toys.

MUTUAL AID
Treasure City exists to support the work of local grassroots organizations. We believe in solidarity not charity: that is, sustainably supporting groups working for systematic change. Our main beneficiaries right now are Inside Books and the Yellow Bike Project; there are many other groups we support that you can read about at www.treasurecitythrift.org/groups. We’re currently working on expanding our promotional support, so if your group is already a part of our network, or would like to be, please get in touch (cory@treasurecitythrift.org) to talk about how we can help get the word out about what you’re working on.

see you soon!
xo,
cory, krissi, and the rest of the treasure city collective
