Our Purpose

We provide a building with free meeting space for area groups, host a Food Pantry (some food is delivered), offer a huge organic Community Garden with over 100 kinds of edible plants, supporting the Pantry, and, before COVID, sponsored  educational potluck dinner-and-a-movie nights.  We also host a Native Drum, The Great ThunderChicken Drum, open and free to all for weekly practice sessions.  We address food insecurity, social isolation, aging issues, and community sustainability in a poor, rural area.  This is an all-volunteer group with no funding from the Town or State.
