2024, gratitude & opportunity

In 2023 we popped up at Share Fair and nurtured our bilingual learning program at Skinner City Community Garden. Mountain Rose Herbs continued hosting our workshops at their Mercantile annex and the Free Herbalism Project. We provided wellness supplies to folks with covid as we have done throughout the pandemic, partnered with Huerto de la Familia miembros to make fire cider at the Churchill garden and, thanks to Michael Blair at the Human Path, sponsored one person to attend a beginning herbalism course delivered in Spanish. We survived the speed bumps of health issues thanks to community support and awesome volunteer dedication!

This year we’re working to expand our relationships with underserved folks, nurture the garden project and add free mobile clinic to our offerings. Stay tuned for ways you can participate – or maybe you have something to offer that we need to hear about?

To those who reached out and waited patiently during our longish response time, our sincere apologies. To those who persisted and those who continued generous support of our various projects, we are humbled and grateful for your enduring generosity.

We look forward to another year of health, collaboration and opportunities to serve our community.

A thousand thanks!

Solidarity Share Fare

Sorry if we missed you at the recent monthly meeting. Its scheduling was an unfortunate flurry. But hey! Next month is coming right up and, barring anymore scheduling blunders, you can expect to be able to meet up on the first Monday of August at 6pm in person or on Zoom. Sign up for the newsletter to be included in next months zoom call!

We joined in on the re-set of Solidarity Share Fair earlier this week and made some new friends too. Thanks for the invitation, NAC. It’s good to be out there with you again.  

Vax Pax for BIPOC vaccinations

Even in a global pandemic, BIPOC folks still don’t have adequate access to timely information and health resources. For the next four months, Centro/Huerto is collaborating with White Bird & Lane County Health to host 4 vaccination clinics and we are pleased to provide after-care wellness packages to everyone that gets vaccinated.

This thing is not over. We still have to work together. You can help: wash your hands, wear your mask over your mouth AND nose, 6′ physical distance, sneeze & cough into your elbow or a tissue. It’s the least we can do.
