Our second issue features people and organizations adapting to challenges posed by COVID-19. Learn how a food shelf in a small Minnesota town has had to adjust its approach to helping residents, how an incubator farm and its farmers are adapting to meet new market expectations, and how a primary caregiver looks out for their own grandmother throughout the pandemic.
We also have a story about a mural created with and reflective of the youth in Des Moines, and the first of a three-part series about an arts and activist collective supporting and cultivating opportunities for Indigenous people. And we’re launching our first podcast series about a family coming to terms with a past death from polio and how that changed everything for them over 60 years ago.
