"The *(f word) racism* tees and tanks raised $5,191.78 and as promised we donated 100% of the proceeds to an organization the KKK hates: our local YWCA.
Thank you to each and every one of you that purchased one.
Hate has no home here," the shop's owners say in a Facebook post.
YWCA’s mission is “eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.”
The store is current selling “🤬Tornadoes”and “Dayton Strong” T-shirts.
Heart owners say they will donate proceeds from the sale of those shirts to The Foodbank.
