Posted project update #6Final Days of Kickstarter Campaign
Post CommentWe would like to take this time to THANK EVERYONE who has donated to our Kickstarter campaign, written letters, created blog posts and posted flyers on our behalf.
This process has been long and hard but rewarding as it has allowed us to communicate with many of you, via email and in person, and see your enthusiasm for an organic grocery store in Bed-Stuy.
We have still have 3 days left & $17,650 to raise. Continue to spread the word and if possible Pledge and become an backer for the store.
We appreciate your support!!
