Pilgrim Lodge is very proud to announce that this year’s new tee-shirts and sweatshirts are sweat-free! 

In trying to live by Christian values of justice and equality, we have made the transition to purchasing goods that are guaranteed to be made in safe and fair working conditions.  By buying clothes and goods from “sweat-shop free” factories in the U.S. and abroad, we are making a difference in the lives of the workers and their families.  Ending sweatshop labor is one way we seek to eliminate exploitation, oppression, and inequality in the world.

While you may see prices here in the store go up slightly, it is so we can wear our clothes with pride, knowing that we are doing our part to maintain the dignity, health, and safety of the person who made it.  All of the store proceeds do still go to Pilgrim Lodge. 

The clothes this year were purchased through Justice Clothing in Bangor.  To learn more about Justice Clothing, visit their website, www.justiceclothing.com
