Yesterday was the perfect weather for gardening. Rasami Moua and her 𝗘𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗶𝗠) program gathered at the community garden to keep physically active and do more planting.The elders had the opportunity to share their knowledge and wisdom with the next generation through a hands-on gardening experience. From preparing the soil to planting seeds, our children and younger adults learned alongside our elders, who generously passed down skills, traditions, and life lessons rooted in culture and experience.

Intergenerational learning is about building relationships, preserving knowledge, and creating meaningful connections between generations. We are grateful to our elders for their willingness to teach and to our youth for their eagerness to learn.

With every seed planted, we are growing more than vegetables. We are cultivating culture, connection, and community

The countdown is on! 🎉

Join us tomorrow at the Appleton Public Library for our 2025–2026 Youth Recital & Awards Ceremony as we celebrate the accomplishments, creativity, and talents of our youth program participants.

We are excited to showcase their hard work and recognize their achievements. Come cheer them on and celebrate with us! 🌟

Community Gardening

This evening, Rasami rounded up the elders, headed to the garden and everyone got to working before the rain came. With willing hearts and dedicated souls, our elders continue to stay active physically, mentally, and spiritually through gardening, cultural connection, and community.

Gardening is familiarity, a part of who they are, what they know, and the traditions many of them were raised with. Much work is yet to be done, but hopefully in a few short weeks, we’ll see beautiful vegetables beginning to sprout.

❤️🤍💙
Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
This Memorial Day, NEW HMong remembers those who gave their lives in service so that future generations could live with freedom, hope, and opportunity. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and loved ones today, may we also take a moment to reflect with gratitude for the fallen heroes and the families who continue to carry their memory forward.

In observance of Memorial Day, our office is closed today.
We will resume normal business hours tomorrow.

🔥 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐖 𝐈𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞! 🔥

Our phenomenal breakdance coach, 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧, and his incredibly talented students have dedicated themselves all school year to sharpening their skills, building confidence, and growing together as a team. Watching these young dancers transform from beginners into energetic and impressive performers has been truly inspiring!

Their hard work, passion, and determination are ready to hit the stage, and we couldn’t be more proud of how far they’ve come.

They take the stage this afternoon at the 𝐇𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔! Be sure to stop by, 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬!

This is the beauty of what community can do when we come together with a shared purpose... beautiful things can grow.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make today possible.
Thank you to our partners Zion Lutheran Church- ELCA, Multicultural Coalition, Inc., Partnership Community Health Center, our incredible teams, volunteers, and supporters who showed up, rolled up their sleeves to lend a helping hands, brought tools, encouragement, and heart as we worked together to create this Community Garden.

What started as an idea is now becoming a space that will grow fresh produce, bring people together, and give back to families in our community.
