We were in town on vacation in Forest Grove and I’d just lost over a hundred and twenty pounds the previous year. My goal was to get a sweater with Forest Grove written on it, and having the sweater be a milestone of inclusivity that I hadn’t had before. The employee had no idea my body had morphed but she made it her goal to get me this sweater. In ten minutes she whipped out a screen printed sweater with the Forest Grove logo. Wow! Also her candles smelled amazing and her surprise goodie mystery bag things are worth every cent! Got some great, funny, and useful things in that mystery bag! Thank you for helping me to create a memory Id never had the privilege of before. Thank you for making my sweater.

Losing over 120 pounds is an extraordinary achievement, and I am so honored that we could play even a small part in celebrating such an important milestone.

I believe everyone deserves to feel celebrated, seen, and included, and your kind words remind us exactly why we do what we do.
