Come visit our store in downtown Brunswick to celebrate "Good Giving Day" on the Friday after Thanksgiving between 9:30 am and 6 pm. We'll share ideas on celebrating the holidays with practical gifts that minimize waste, and acts of generosity that build community. In addition, we will collect food and funds for the Midcoast Hunger Prevention Project. Bring in a donation and you'll be eligible to win a free gift in one of our hourly drawings.
Every year we look for ways to give back to the community that supports us. We sell organic seeds, gardening tools, composting and canning supplies, but we realize that growing and preserving your own food is not possible for many in our society. That's why we are raising awareness and support for our local soup kitchen and food bank, helping to provide healthy and nutritious meals to those who are in need.
The Friday after Thanksgiving is conventionally known as "Black Friday," associated with crowds marking the start of the Christmas shopping season. Among counter-culture activists, it is celebrated as "Buy Nothing Day," a protest against mindless consumerism. Being a sustainable living store, F.W. Horch seeks to provide you with gift and giving ideas that sustain meaningful relationships, cut down on the amount of waste generated during the holiday season, and make a positive difference in our community and beyond.
You don't have to choose between fighting the crowds at the big box stores or staying home alone in protest! Join us on Maine Street to shop at local businesses, support local organizations, and strengthen our community.
