Weekend community connection report… tell us something that has inspired you about your community this past few weeks.

We’ll start, to help get the juices flowing:

One of our staff helps out at the local YWCA making a monthly meal for the emergency shelter. This month they find themselves tied up with external family and work projects and a sick kid, which is making it hard to get the job done. What started as a simple social media request for help quickly turned into a bounty of riches. And now, the most vulnerable women and children at their YWCA will be getting an unbelievable Wednesday night pre-Thanksgiving meal.

This tells us that what makes community work is simply showing up. The spirit of stone soup starts with an empty pot and a stone and grow to community stew. And, in the spirit of “stone soup,” when we each bring one great “ingredient,” we create an exponential bounty of riches for all.
