I was at the Eastside Food Coop annual meeting where the announcement was made regarding the location of the store and I can't tell you how excited I am about it!
Not only will the EFC bring a much-needed natural foods store to NE Minneapolis, but it will also (and already has) help build community in these neighborhoods. Through the NE Farmer's Market, the "Best Pancake Breakfast Ever" and other events, lots of folks have come out and gotten to know their neighbors a little better. And now the next opportunity comes this Thursday when the EFC and Holland Neighborhood Improvement Association sponsor a "No-Waste Holiday" workshop where you can learn fun, creative ways to save money and reduce waste this holiday season. The workshop starts at 7pm and will be held at the Emma B. Howe YMCA Center at 23rd Ave and Jackson St. NE To register, call JoAnne at 612-788-1314 Hope to see you there!
