Join us on Sunday, August 16 from 4-6 PM for a potluck meal with a twist. Meet your neighbors and help weave some community connections.
Here's how it will work: We'll gather between 4 and 6PM, no official start or end. Come when you can and stay as long as you'd like!
Please bring a dish to share made from locally produced food. This could be something from your personal garden, your local farmers market or CSA, or something you've recently foraged.
We also ask you to think about something you need or could use help with (Request) and/or something you can offer to help with (Offer). Requests and Offers can be simple things like offering to provide a ride to a doctor appointment, sharing a conversation for an hour, or playing a game. They could also be skills that you have and are willing to share, such as how to do some kind of artwork, gardening help, pet care or handy work around the house. It's really anything you can imagine! At the end of the night, we will match the Requests to the Offers so that everyone can get the help they need. *Note: If you can't think of an offer and a request, come anyway! Maybe you'll be inspired.
Besides sharing a delicious meal, our goal is to have you leave with at least one simple connection to help someone or have someone help you. Most importantly, we want you to have fun, meet some neighbors and connect.
That's it!
The TTGM Resilience Working Group will have hosts circulating to help you find the right connection piece. We'll also have a table with useful information on preparing for emergencies, learning more about resilience and edible foods that grow in our area (foraging).
