The Portager Camping Mug

Description

The design

Designed by local musician and photographer Roger Hoover, The Portager logo is chic enough for The Bistro and fun enough for the County Line. Wherever you’re using our banner, raise a toast to your fellow Portagers.

The mug

What goes together better than the news and a nice cup of coffee?

This stainless steel and enamel mug holds 12 ounces of whatever you’re having (it doesn’t have to be coffee) and will serve you through camping trips, football games, bonfires or just sitting at your kitchen table. Be aware that these are made of stainless steel, and the sides get hot. Hold it by the handle if you have a hot drink in it.

The shop

Buying from the Portager Shop is a good idea for two reasons. First, 90% of the profits we make from sales support our journalists. It allows us to tell more stories, report on local government and expand our coverage. We’re not owned by some out-of-state hedge fund, so the money you spend here comes right back to you in the form of important local news.

What about the other 10% of the profits? Between now and the end of March 2022, a tenth of all sales after expenses will go directly to the Socially Responsible Sweatshop of Kent, an organization of sewists dedicated to repurposing landfill-bound textiles into new, useful items. These were the people who stitched together thousands of masks for first responders during the pandemic. They donate all the proceeds from their sales to organizations fighting hunger in Portage County, including Kent Social Services and the Rural Relief Mobile Food Pantry.
