November is a time to gather with loved ones, share joy, and reflect in gratitude. And let’s be honest… it’s also about delicious food we share in community.
As we look to the next month, we’re thinking about the word harvest- the hands that worked to harvest the food at the dinner table, our ability to harvest ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally, and how we harvest the spirit of community as we give thanks to one another.
Read on to see all the fun ways we plan to engage and support our community this month by harvesting creativity, compassion, and action.
We would love to hear from you! What will you harvest in November to stay engaged, active and creative? Let us know on social media!

Learn how to expand the range of voices and storytellers you and your family are reading, watching, and listening to as we go into this holiday season.
Food is where we meet, where we build, where we struggle, and where we survive. - Peoples Kitchen Collective
My family is not religious, but when we eat dinner together, we give thanks. We include the rain, the sun, the moon, the soil, and the wind. Our gratitude starts with "Thank you to all the hands that touched this food on its way to our table." It's meant to acknowledge not just my husband or me, who cooked the meal, but everyone from the farm to the grocery store to our home who grew, harvested, fed, slaughtered, transported, stocked, and bagged the food in our meal. It's meant to acknowledge that it takes a lot of labor from many, many people for us to eat. It's meant to make visible the people we are connected to through our meal. - Mia Birdson from How We Show Up; Reclaiming family. Friendship, and Community
