HELP US FEED COMMUNITY MEMBERS! In December @socialpracticelabs launched a hot meals initiative called COMMUNITY CUISINE to deliver some warmth to Chicago families and persons with limited mobility for Christmas Eve and we haven't stopped delivering hot meals since then. . Today we want to honor one of our newest team members! Washieka Torres has a passion for culinary arts and disrupting food disparity! . They are incubating a needs-based meal program that offers well made and nutritious hot meals. With the support of Social Practice Labs sourcing food, coordinating volunteers for deliveries, and strategically partnering with other orgs that can help the initiative get resources and supports, Washieka will be able to establish systems and practices that will enable the project to be duplicated in multiple cities! . @socialpracticelabs supports artists and cultural workers like Washieka who envision using their creative practice as a tool for community care and social action! . DONATE to Social Practice Labs COMMUNITY CUISINE program as well as our COVID-19 relief fund by sending payments via PayPal using [email protected]. . Please remember to "sent to friend" since you're not "buying a product or service" to ensure 100% of your donation goes back into the community instead of into fees. . . Tweet from Ayanna Presley: "A man died from COVID in a Houston jail cell last week because he couldn't afford the $100 bail. He died for the crime of being poor, awaiting trial for the alleged crime of stealing food. His name was Preston Chaney. Mass incarceration is a public health crisis" . . . . #MutualAid #fooddesert #covid19relief #relieffunds #hotmeals #communitycare #ittakesavillage #volunteers (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLYjIF9FBhF/?igshid=g3ptaw36jehj
