S.H.A.P.E. Community Center

Thank you everyone that came out and contributed during our 'Imagine A World.. Town Hall Meeting'. It is always grounding to be in and creating with community. We wanted to try something a little unorthodox by drawing and using our creativity to communicate changes we would like to see for SHAPE. We are so pleased with how well it was received and the level of participation from the community. Thank you @mcclarty03 , @ibraimnascimento , @comebeewell , Brian Smith, and @beimpactfulfoundation for your support in making this event a success. We plan to do regular monthly gatherings and updates so be sure to check out our website SHAPE.org and follow us on all platforms.
