Here's your one stop spot for the weekly news from our Mission & Justice Board, September 1, 2021 edition.

Here are photos of the Share Place food store for the Birchwood Food Desert Fighters. This is where your contributions for the August 21 will go to be shared by the neighbors who need some help with food.

Food deserts are neighborhoods where people have limited access to healthful and affordable food due to having a low income or having to travel farther to find healthful food options.
