“What a pleasure it is to be an integral part of Unity Shoppe’s mission for over 30 years. The critical essentials that Unity provided to those affected by the Thomas Fire and Montecito Debris Flow showed your consistent dedication to our Community. And now, during this tragic pandemic, you’re at it again! You have always treated everyone in need with the kindness and respect they deserve. We are so honored to have played a part in sustaining this incredible organization.”
