Our grocery program today in Acorn was complemented by our Health and Wellness team, where we were able to provide free healthcare and wellness services for the community alongside fresh, healthy groceries. This is how we build self-reliance in our communities where the people take care of the people! Free the land!
Our very first hot meal distribution took place right up the street from McClymonds high school on Myrtle street! Years later we continue to build with the Mack community. Our collaboration with their Varsity basketball team this season will extend far beyond the warm ups and photoshoot as they’ll be engaged in some of our decolonization programs.
Shoutout to the Mack House and Free The Land!
