Do you know about the No Wrong Door initiative? We are so happy to be part of this great group of organizations that team up to ensure that no matter what door a community member walks through for help - it's not a wrong door!

It's sure feeling like summer with this warmer weather. Yesterday we embraced it with our annual Container Garden Workshop. Always a favorite, this workshop saw families planting tomato plants, pepper plants, marigolds, and green bean and lettuce seeds. Before we know it harvest time will be here!

We joined our friends at Ohio Valley ESC today for a poverty simulation training! It was a great morning as we gained insight into the many challenges those in poverty face everyday!

A very Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

"En papillote" - that's the term we learned at the latest Go Cook Club meeting! The french technique of cooking food in a parchment bag. We tried it with salmon and veggies, and then compared it to seasoned, pan seared salmon. Different textures and flavor profiles, but the students agreed - both delicious.

We are in the Armory with Eve and many other local groups until 6 pm. Come on down and check out the happenings.
