Please save the date, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm, for our yearly Halloween extravaganza (all free, all are welcome)! There will be Spooky Storytime, natural ingredients potion-making, trick-or-treating, craft activities, a costume contest (11:30 am), and our beekeepers from Island Bee Project will be there too with lots of bee facts and fun.
On SUNDAY, November 2, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm, we will be hosting a CLOTHING SWAP and MUTUAL AID donation dropoff. If you want to come and browse clothing and accessories or just stop by to drop off some nonperishable food items for ASTORIA FOOD PANTRY, we'd love to see you.
WHAT TO DONATE: Pasta, tomato sauce, snack foods, menstrual pads, baby wipes, shelf-stable meals that can be prepared with just hot water or a microwave (e.g. ramen in a cup), foods in pop-top cans (e.g. soup, fish, beans), cereal & oatmeal (especially in single servings), baby diapers (especially large sizes: 4 and up).
Five actresses. Five plays. Five writers. Join us on an imaginative journey through time, space, and meaning to explore the modern climate crisis. We may not have all the answers, but we certainly have a great deal of questions. Sounds strange, but maybe that's exactly what we need?
Needs More Work Productions is thrilled to participate in the international Climate Change Theater Action festival once again! This time, they're presenting Counterintuitive, a collection of short plays about the human need to always have all the answers, and where that may lead us.
Our volunteers come from every walk of life: various cultures, skill sets, and ages. We're an Each One, Teach One garden and everyone from our youth to our grownups have something to share with one another.
In September 2017, when we first got the keys to this land, we had 7-foot tall weeds to contend with. We rolled up our sleeves, borrowed weed wackers, loppers, and got to work clearing some space. See more BEFORE pics in our 'early days' photo gallery.
Youth from local schools and organizations use our space to learn about growing food, how bees contribute to our food system, mutual aid, and what community composting is all about.
