Women For Hope

Women for Hope wanted to offer some products to help our customers with “Going Green.”    We are happy to announce our first product line with a Green focus - Skeeda reusable grocery bags.    Now we have all seen the bags at many of the stores, but they are usually made from nylon or some other form of plastic, which in some ways defeats the purpose, as the whole point is to reduce the amount of plastics in landfills.  These type of bags take even longer to decompose than the basic plastic shopping bags.   Also, most of these bags are made in China or in other overseas factories, which increase the use of petroleum to bring them to the US.

Now, Skeeda bags are a whole different story!   They are made from 100% cotton heavyweight material and they are made in the USA, by a women-owned company (as with all products offered by Women for Hope Not only that, but they are stylish!   They come in lots of fun fabrics, and have long handles so you can carry them over your shoulder.   They are nice and roomy - hold at least three times as much as a plastic bag does.   They are also machine washable - they do advise to line dry though.    And…best part - they are only $15.00 each!   

They are so cute and roomy, I have been using them for other things, like a run to the library, throwing in a change of clothes to take w/ me to work, and they are fabulous at the Farmer’s market!   So, check them out and buy a few.  What a great gift they will make for the holidays!
