H&H stands with our Community
Hunter & Hare acknowledges our stores sit on the unceeded lands of Coast Salish, səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), & šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmaɁɬ təməxʷ (Musqueam) Nations. Our 227 Union St. store is also located in Hogan's Alley. We are very grateful of the privileges that have been afforded us on this land.
At H&H, we understand that it isn't enough to simply acknowledge the space we occupy. To stand in solidarity, and to help uplift our surrounding communities, we are dedicated to the journey of listening to other experiences to inform our views on life. Movements and discussions are constantly taking place around us, and as human beings we will always listen, absorb, evolve, and pass on the knowledge. As a women-owned business, we strive to create a safe and supportive environment for our staff, consignors, customers, and neighbours alike.
Sustainability & Donating Clothes
It can be unnerving how much clothing ends up in the landfill. Here is a current list of the charities that we have pick-up clothing from us, and still looking for more:
Downtown Community Court
Last Tuesday of the Month
During the BLM movement following George Floyd's murder by police in the US on May 25, 2020, owners Micki & Jo questioned what it means to be an active ally without becoming performative as many prominent BLM activists have pointed out. Deciding to put their money where their mouth is, they launched a new campaign succinctly called "Last Tuesday of the Month" in July 2020.
On the last Tuesday of every other month, Hunter & Hare picks a different charity to donate 25% of our sales for that day. Here is a list of the charities we have donated to so far, with many more to come! Click on their names to be brought to their website to read more about the work they do.
