A dream takes a step forward

Exciting things are happening. After many months of starts and stop, we were approved for another Kiva loan. We just recently moved from the private funding phase to the public funding phase and we are 40% of the way to being fully funded. This loan is earmarked for piloting a really neat self-serve soap dispensing kiosk we are hoping to place at A Seat at the Table Books. The pilot will allow us to gather data to determine if Elk Grove is ready for a fun scale refinery and whether we can expand the kiosks to more locations throughout the Sacramento region. We'll be starting with our "Core Four" products, unscented laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap and body wash. To help us reach our goal, check out the Kiva Loan campaign- https://www.kiva.org/lend/2812463?emlid=6055575&share=true
In other news, this pilot will be rolled out under a new company name, The Refill Network. We are working on re-designing and launching that website while also updating this one. And speaking of updates, we added a new product: Sappo Hill Soap Bars and two new designs of the Swedish Dishcloths. Go check them out in the Shop section.
