Two local organizations are inviting your participation in events that are designed to bring members of the community together and help one another.

The Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture will host its Empty Bowls 2016 on Sunday April 10; this is a community meal in support of growing healthy food and hunger relief.  You have two choices of meals, lunch form Noon to 2 pm or Dinner from 5 to 7 pm.  Both will be served at Missouri United Methodist.  Admission is free although donations are invited and encouraged!

More than 30 churches in Columbia will come together for a day of serving the community on April 23, from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. You can sign up here.  You can find Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages for this event by simply entering “For Columbia 2016” in your browser.

We invite you to share other opportunities to make Columbia a stronger, more supportive community on this blog!
