Now open: new pantry structure! Right next to the fridge structure, the pantry will provide nonperishable items. Take what you need, leave what you can

Two structures next to each other with their doors open. The structure on the left contains dry goods on shelves. The structure on the right contains a refrigerator. The structures are in front of a colorful mural.

Detroit and Dearborn folks - a local farm donated a bunch of produce last night! Looks like cucumbers, greens and cabbage. We will also be delivering prepared sandwiches and salads (halal) this morning by ~9 am.

Come get food if you need it!

Juneteenth is an opportunity to contemplate and learn from the resilience and ingenuity of enslaved people who formed rich environmental relations.

On Juneteenth, I draw strength from the rich history of Black communities’ struggles for environmental justice.

This Sunday will have a heat index of over 110 F. It wouldn't be safe or responsible for us to host. The event will be postponed to the 29th, 9am-1pm. We expect in the future, the ongoing climate catastrophe will continue to force us to reschedule and are grateful for your understanding 💖

Today we shared our vision for the community space while we prepped the land for the garden beds and structures it will soon hold 💞

at our March core team meeting, we asked each other "what is mutual aid" and "what isn't mutual aid". here are some of our responses.
Four white note cards on a black background under the header "mutual aid is". Harm reduction, recognizing that everyone deserves to ask for & receive help (that includes you!), understanding shared humanity, safety through caring for each other Four yellow note cards on a black background under the header "mutual aid is not". Class reductive, transactional, individualistic, judgemental
