Ah….vacation! While we all need periods of rest away from the routine of home life, travel may include more than relaxation. Come hear from café participants who choose to travel with a purpose, such as a completing specific project or filling needs in diverse communities.

Our topic this week is Growing Food for Community. We recognize the importance of community engagement in helping us to achieve our best health.

This week our café moves “outdoors” for a virtual hike in our lovely Northwest forests. Even though it’s early in hiking season, you won’t have to worry about hiking boot blisters during this adventure from the comfort of home. We will tackle varied terrain. Cross streams by tiptoeing, mount hills with high knees, and spot some lovely scenery along the way.
