Cliff's Variety

For us at Cliff's, Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude. We like to celebrate this every year with our annual Give & Receive Fundraiser. You give a $5 or greater to Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy, and we give you a 20% discount (some exclusions apply). Please have a safe and happy Thanksgiving and we will see you this weekend. Please remember we are still limiting the number of people in the store for your safety and ours.

These are the glass ornaments that are in the Annex. Thanks again Chuck Griffin.

Just a little taste of what potential our in house workshop in capable of. Completed by none other than our very own Richard Bennett. Long story short: Richard took 4 long strips of cherry wood, biscuit and glued them, cut and routed them, and finally, put 7 coats of his favorite danish oil finish to top it off. The end result: 4 one of a kind heirloom shelves that will stand the test of time. These photos show remnants of the base material, and the final product. The process took in total about 20 hours over the span of a couple of weeks. Projects in mind? Come chat with Richard at Cliffs Variety!

On this day the world learned the results of the 2020 Presidential election. Shot in front of Cliff's Variety Store Drone footage taken by JJ Meeks @jmisterjayphotography via instagram.

Rest in peace Tom Taylor. We are so grateful for everything you have done for our community. Tom quietly cared for the flag pole and Rainbow Flag. He stored and modified the giant flags to make sure the flapping wouldn't keep the neighborhood awake at night. He and his husband Jerry spent thousands of dollars and jumped through city beauacracy to make sure the flag stayed lit at night. Every year he would transform the scrawny tree in front of their 21st Street home into a Christmas fantasy. You brought so much joy to our community, Thank you. You will be forever missed.

Several Castro Merchants have pulled together to make sure there is a safe Halloween option for our little ghouls and goblins. https://fb.me/e/1CVGaSgZi
