The People's Gathering: Increasing Food Access on Syracuse's South Side
Advertisement
The People’s Gathering is an initiative led by Cafe Sankofa Inc. to bring members of our community together for fellowship and engage in monthly peer learning and resource sharing in response to community needs and social issues plaguing our community.
Our gatherings represent an effort to build a beloved community that recognizes the importance of interdependence and collective action in response to health, social, and economic injustice faced by our neighbors. Not only do we aim to nourish our neighbors through meals served at gatherings, but we also strive to nourish their spirits through guest speakers and health and wellness workshops.
Our first guest speaker will be Rhonda Vesey of Food Access Healthy Neighborhoods Now, who has been a fierce advocate for food justice on Syracuse's Southside.
We will have breakfast and hot beverages for sale. All proceeds will support our Café's mission and programming.
