EcoShip Community Events

EcoShip Events are gatherings we host, organize, or take part in with community partners. These include collection drives, sustainability meetups, and larger fundraising events that support our mission.

Events may take place at the EcoShip store or out in the community, depending on the event. Each listing includes location details so you know where to find us.
