Partner Highlight: Stasher
Thank you to Stasher for their generous in-kind donation. Stasher is the endlessly reusable and radically functional silicone bag that changes the way people can cook, store and preserve food in one simple solution. Every Stasher is safe in the microwave, freezer, boiling water, and oven (up to 400 F) and cleans easily in the dishwasher. In celebration of World Ocean Month, Stasher launched a limited-edition Ocean bag featuring a one-of-a-kind blend of deep and pale blues. This ocean bag is sized just right in a Sandwich bag, ideal for summer snacking, sunglasses, sunscreen or surfwax. Switching from single-use plastic bags to a reusable option five times per week removes 260 single-use bags from the waste stream every year.
