Quick, blurry shot of the Incredible amount of donations you brought today! Things moved so quickly thx to Liz (@leshski) & Lauren & all of you - Shifters, EC folk. You made this possible-three carloads today & more trips tmrw to get the whole lot up there. If you want to pop down before 11:30am (Thurs.) we’d gladly include your donations. Stay tuned for new opportunities arising this Friday and Saturday, and going fwd, as we partner with other businesses to allow for a depot of sorts that will get goods where they need to be going. The need will go on for weeks to come. Stay strong, everyone.

We miss you so! An update from here... Thank you to those of you that have supported us through gift card and bike purchases. Your activism in that manner humbled us and made this thinking time possible. Currently we do not have a reopen date. As a collective, we are exercising caution & waiting to see how things go in the coming weeks. Our staff is safe at home, the business has been fortified by relief funding & Adrian is working tirelessly on the bike side to help everyone stay active. To us this is the perfect space to be in as we watch unprecedented times continue to unfold. We'll plan ahead for how to safely get you coffee & waffles soon enough. Keep the calls rolling in for bike appointments - sales & service - and that will be the support we need to keep the name alive. XO

URGENT Bike shops need to be considered essential businesses & remain open as we continue toward a stricter community way. PLEASE send this email now before the final word is given tmrw or Wednesday by Gov. Evers. Here’s an email you can send to the Governor using these two email addresses:

Dear Gov. Evers, Please add bicycle retailers and repair shops to the list of essential businesses in Wisconsin. Bicycles are an important mode of transportation for many, and many more will be looking to get their bicycles repaired now that mass transit is no longer available. Beyond their incredible value as modes of transportation, Bicycles are also excellent for maintaining active and healthy lifestyles, leading to positive mental health and stability. Bike shops that commit to the CDC rules and safe social distancing are major assets to our communities right now, so please make bike shops essential businesses and publish their addition to the media. Thank you, --

/ M-F 10-5 (10-2 being the ideal) / Deets: Please do your best to sanitize your bike before bringing it to us and we will do the same before returning it to you. * When we greet you at the back door plz respect our health and safety and give us 6ft of space.

Caffeinated isolation / Support your local shop during slow times & get dynamic about your home-brew game. Now offering 10% off all coffee brewing equipment available in the shop: scales, grinders, drippers, & kettles. Upgrade your at-home coffee system or try experimenting with a new method. Maybe stock-up on beans while you are at it... #staycaffeinated ... Curious about this stack of coffee drippers? From top to bottom: Kalita Wave Dripper - The flat bottom design makes this pour-over dripper beginner-friendly. Stainless-steel also happens to be rather accident-proof. Hario V60 Dripper - Designed to allows coffee to escape through both the sides and bottom of the brewer, promoting a nice even brew. This ceramic model also happens to be classy AF. Clever Coffee Dripper - Bridging the gap between french-press and pour-over models, the Clever is a full-immersion dripper. Insert a filter into the brewer, add ground coffee, water, and time, then place the dripper on top of your cup. Enjoy.

We are one / here at SHIFT, we feel a responsibility to the global community to take precautions: help those that need help and stay well, so that you and everyone around you can move through this time in a swift, healthy manner. As a community center of EC, we are taking precautions on behalf of you & your loved ones: • We're only serving in single-use containers, and coffee fixings' have been moved behind the coffee bar: less touching = more healthy. • All surfaces are being disinfected immediately after use. • Entries/exits, handles, bathroom fixtures & major touchpoints are being disinfected steadfastly, repeatedly (even excessively, perhaps). • We've removed some chairs to make for spacious, distanced seating in the cafe. We will continue to evolve and make changes to our service as needed. Much love, everyone. Be well!

You helped raise $1200! Thank you! Order window is closed... but it's not too late (keep reading). Thank you to everyone who purchased a TOGETHER Tee in support of the Chippewa Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center. We are pleased to report: the center has found a new home at 505 Dewey St. South and is moving in this week - woo! Online ordering is now closed, and tees are heading to the printers! For those who haven't donated - don't fret! Tees will soon be on sale here at SHIFT, at Odd Humyns, and at Pride / Queer Prom, hosted by CV LGBTQ+ Community Center. We will keep you posted! xoxo
