This is the produce list for Thanksgiving for Ridge St and North Garden produce distribution sites. Makes me imagine all the seasonal casseroles that **I** love this time of year. 

We’re honored that our work has been recognized by the CNE as part of their Philanthropy Day. Pat, Kerney, and I were all nominated to receive this honor in recognition of the community work we’re part of. We’re important parts, but there are so many others. There’s Pat’s sister in taking care of the kids while Pat calls and watches. There’s Pat L dropping by some clothes and household goods. Pat’s grandson unloads my car. Zakira swings by for some moral and logistical support. Thet gives me some cultural context and strategies for the Afghan neighbors. Katherine places the order for North Garden and Julie or Dakayla pick it up, saving me a trip. There are so many others. My intention is to create more connections between the socially segregated worlds of Black and white community within Charlottesville. What better way than over the basic fundamental of life– food. We will be making a big order for produce so that Thanksgiving will be bountiful. Please support this if you can.
