Winterm 2009 Two Weeks of Service Learning in Bellows Falls Community Kitchen Our Place

It is exciting to be working with Bellows Falls Community Kitchen, Our Place for the next two weeks.

Below are a list of resources/readings we will be utilizing as part of our Winterm study on hunger and poverty in Vermont.  Every morning we will have a reading and each afternoon after we've helped cook, serve and clean up lunch at the kitchen, we will have time to reflect on and discuss these important issues.
