On the fourth day of Christmas, Mesopotamia gives to us many beautiful meals... For today's 12 Days of Christmas Challenge, we are inviting you to partner with Iraqi New American and hospitality cultivator extrordinare Valantina who leads our Hopeprint Alliance Member Mesopotamia. 🍽️ Mesopotamia runs our growing season Northside Night Market that benefits hundreds of local residents who have limited access to quality, healthy food, bringing farmers and vendors right to the block. This beautiful space not only provides food access, but also creates a space of community for isolated neighbors to gather, children to play, and a vacant space to be transformed for good. Will you take on one of these needs as your 12 Days of Christmas Challenge acceptance?...

🍽️ $500 for healthy food tastings / teaching for 100 people at the Northside Night Market
🫛 $100/week for 12 weeks ($1,200) for Northside Night Market produce
📃 $200 for the season's permitting fees for the Northside Night Market

Donate today at www.hopeprint.org/hopeprint and place Mesopotamia in the memo!
