What a year! One year ago this month, The Hope Shop of Baton Rouge opened its doors as the city's one and only fair trade shop. Although it has been a challenging year amidst the pandemic, we are beyond grateful for our community and the support it has shown us online and in our shop!
Throughout this year we've grown immensely and made some amazing friends along the way. One of our ongoing goals is to support local makers and businesses and from this blossomed our monthly Mini Markets. Each month we invite local businesses to The Hope Shop to display their products and hard work to the community. We want to honor all of our vendors that have joined us over the last year and supported our cause of shopping small!
