Potlucks, meetings, and holiday gatherings all are better with…FOOD!
For our February board meeting, Leaven Board Member Meshal Alajmi made a delicious meal in the Leaven kitchen to share. The rest of us were inspired!
There are three events this month which are prompting us to think more systematically about food hospitality and mutual aid in our community: The March Board Meeting, a Garden Work Party, and the Salt & Light Easter Pancake Breakfast.
We’re going to cook together!
Thursday, March 14, 3-6 PM Make soup and prep salad ingredients food for the Leaven Board meeting (3/14) and Leaven Garden Work Party (3/16)

What comes next?
In the near future we hope to provide community members with meals who put a lot of time into the development of our community and could benefit from less time and energy spent on the dinner details every night.
We want to have frozen meals on hand for families in our community who are experiencing transitions such as births, hospitalizations, financial hardships, etc.
We’re exploring restarting a bulk food purchasing club, which Leaven members have organized in the past.
These efforts will strengthen the relationships we are developing as a Community Resilience Hub and unveil future opportunities for food justice in our community.
