Happy Pride! For more than 50 years, Seward Co-op has been a place welcome to everyone. 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.
Learn about the history of Pride in the Twin Cities, and hear from two of our community partners on what Pride Month means to them. Read more. (Posters in collage Courtesy of the Jean-Nickolaus Tretter Collection)
We feature LGBTQ+ producers year round and are always looking for ways to provide more inclusive services at our stores. Learn about a few of our LGBTQ+-owned producers for a sweet way to celebrate this year.
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.
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.
