Stop Line 3 Mutual Aid Collection

Supporting Water Protectors 
We invite you to participate in Unity's mutual aid collection to help support those on the frontlines of the Indigenous-led Line 3 resistance to the construction of Enbridge's Line 3 Tar Sands Pipeline. Unity's drive will focus on small, most-needed items. Review the list and church drop-off hours at https://bit.ly/line3donations. ​

Farmers Markets ​& Pick-Your-Own

​ I’ve found CSAs to be economical sources of ingredients for wonderful soups, salads and entrees. As a single person, I’ve split a share with a friend. It’s been a delicious adventure!
