EARTH’S REFILLERY COOP

 

EDITION 10: May 2026

ERC needs your help :(

 

May Recap

May was packed with wonderful events that filled our space with engaging conversations and so much energy. Like Green Drinks, with presentations from local permiculture experts, and Toxic Trivia, hosted by Climate Justice Edmonton and Edmonton Youth for Climate and sponsored by 350.org.

We also had our third Repair Cafe event, 2 wood frame drum making demonstrations by Carlo Marrazzo, a Bystander Intervention Workshop by For Better Consent, a zine sale, and Festa Primavera, organized by Viva Italia District Association, live Bluegrass by our friends, newly named the Squirrelhead Stringband, a tin can lantern upcycling workshop, and still more to come this weekend!!

Tai Chi Tuesdays and Fridays launched, now that the weather is on our side for more outdoor events in the Piazza.

Thanks to some new patio furniture and umbrellas, what was formerly a parking lot has now transformed into what we have lovingly dubbed the “People’s Piazza”, an outdoor space shared by Paper Birch Books, True Blue Barber, Earth’s Refillery, and Spinelli’s.

Financial Update:

We’re trying to remain optimistic that we can continue building momentum and utilizing our customer relationships, both new and longstanding, to stay afloat through the summer, though we are still in a position of financial uncertainty and need as much support as we can get. Please continue to tell your friends about us and consider us as one of your first stops when shopping for pantry staples and eco-friendly supplies. We hear all the time about how grateful people are to have us in the community and the events that we do, but we simply need our sales to match the enthusiasm in order to be able to continue doing what we love and value!

Other ways you can help:

  • Do you know any orgs/businesses/groups/people who buy ingredients, coffee, or cleaning supplies in bulk and want to support local? Send them our way! Bulk orders get a 5% case discount and businesses get 10% off!

  • If you’re interested in volunteering, there are some opportunities including helping out at events, photography, marketing, events planning, etc.

  • Book us for an event! We do live music & entertainment, workshops, meetings, birthday parties, you name it!
