Please come help them feel welcome!

TRAVEL MUG EXCHANGE:

Wash Perk likes to keep travel mugs on hand for when customers forget their own, or would just like to reduce our paper cup use. We try to keep enough around so that it’s easy for you to take with you, and return sometime in the future. There are always peeps that forget to return and then our stockpile dwindles.

CALLING ON ALL RETIRED BUT USABLE TRAVEL MUGS…… if you have any from us, please return. If you have any to donate, we will give you a FREE MEDIUM DRINK in exchange for each USABLE tumbler you leave for community use.

When you are at the shop, please feel free to borrow our tumblers and help decrease our cup cost/waste

THROUGH JANUARY, or until we get too many for Teri to manage in her basement office!!!!! THANK YOU!
