This June, and year-round, we’re proud to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, from staff to shoppers to vendors and everyone in between. Read on for ways to celebrate this year, learn about LGBTQ+-owned businesses whose products you can find at the co-op, and look back on the history of Pride in the Twin Cities.

Striving for an Intersectional Pride
Our goal has always been to create space that is comfortable and safe for everyone to gather, work, and shop. At Seward Co-op, we welcome opportunities to continue learning and growing more in community. Read about our commitments to inclusivity, affirmative language, and working from an intersectional lens.
Round Up to Support Mental Health Care for LGBTQ+ Youth
This June, round up at the register to support our SEED recipient RECLAIM. RECLAIM provides financially accessible, specialized mental health care to queer and trans youth aged 12-25. Started nearly 15 years ago when existing services for LGBTQ+ youth were cut from other local nonprofits due to the financial recession, RECLAIM is working to expand their connections throughout the state to improve the landscape of access. Read more about RECLAIM and round up next time you’re in stores.
