July News

Summer is in full swing and we at Small Planet Trading are enjoying the energy of old friends and new. If you haven't been in lately, stop by soon to check out new Fair Trade finds and our amazing line-up of creative local craftspeople.

We have one Common Good Thursday scheduled this month. Shop on Thursday the 8th and 25% of your purchase will go to support The Next Door Inc. as they raise funds to purchase their own building. We can't say enough about all of the wonderful programs that The Next Door provides in the Gorge. Come show your support for a gem of a local non-profit.

Yes, you did read that right, we don't have anymore groups ready to partner for future Common Good Thursdays-- so if you have a cause near and dear to your heart-- let's get together to spread the word and raise some money. Call or email us to get it started 541-387-2008 info@smallplanettrading.com
