Urban Roots: Urban Roots operates as a youth development program and one of the largest youth employers on the East Side of Saint Paul. They create economic and educational opportunities for under-resourced, majority BIPOC youth, preparing them for academic and professional success while addressing immediate community needs around fresh food access, the environment, and wellbeing.
Los Amigos: Addressing the needs of our Immigrant community in the St. Croix Valley & into St. Paul. Due to the heightened fear of our immigrant neighbors, folks are fearful of going to the food shelf. Los Amigos is connecting over 150 families in dire need, to safe food pick up sites and are also providing literacy help, sourcing household items and much more. They are doing INCREDIBLE and direct work, the goal is 'no family who asks for food will be denied'. $25 Aldi gift cards are requested and or a tax deductible check to the St. Croix Valley Food Bank/ dedicated to Los Amigos stcroixvalleyfoodbank.org/donate

Mill City Farmers Market Saturdays through October. This market really rocks! And with the Historic Stone Arch Bridge reopened...shop the unique market, walk the Mississippi river loop, stop back for a bite to eat. Nicely wedged between the Mill City Museum and the Guthrie Theater, there really is no better way to spend a Saturday morning. millcityfarmersmarket.org
Textiles
Some added joy! We took our circle in the circle design from the beginning of ArtAndes days, and blew them up, it makes a room warm and happy! Then the kitchen needed a boost... and now we are working on the living room mate, soon to be off the loom. This is a great time of year to think about a custom rug.
Travel
Peru for two- four!
I love my new way of guiding trips, small and custom, very step of the way. If you have special areas of interest, let me know! Your unique experience will be rich and depth-full. There is plenty of free time to enjoy the lush hacienda grounds, or head off with me during your 'free' time for an afternoon hike or to see friends in special places! Peru is such a bio-diverse and culturally rich country, everyday is a memorable day. Upcoming suggested months: Nov, Dec, April
Galapagos Islands and Hacienda stay I have a wonderful private yacht agent I work with, this exceptional boat experience delivers the best opportunity to experience a once in a lifetime nature adventure. A Galapagos trip could be added to your Peru adventure, and what a trip it would be!
