We have a wide assortment of food available. Bags with staple items are pre-filled, but we will gladly add any special requests if they are available. When you visit, there is always a simple lunch. On the last Wednesday of every month, we serve a pretty darned good hot meal with salad and a huge table filled with pies and desserts. We call it a community lunch. All are welcomed.

On Saturday afternoon, January 27th, an hour-long, free and fun concert will be put on by the valley's premier Community String Orchestra, the Second Street Musicians. The concert will include music by Mozart, Shostakovich, Vivaldi, and Grieg plus other two special pieces: "Viva la Vida" made famous by Coldplay, and "Gabriel's Oboe" in which the featured oboe soloist is Lorin Groshong of the Rogue Valley Symphony. Everyone is welcome!

Biologist and policy expert Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson has developed a valuable visual tool for helping us each figure out how we can individually contribute to addressing the daunting climate crisis. During SOCAN's January meeting, we will discuss a short TED talk by Dr. Johnson during which she presents her vision. Rather than asking folks to try to solve the global problem alone, Johnson offers a relatively painless route to identifying personal tactics. Johnson’s plan involves our first asking ourselves: 'What brings us joy?' She then asks us to identify 'What we are good at?' Finally, we ask ourselves 'What needs doing (and falls within this intersection)?'
Please join us as we reflect on what we can do, or what more we can do. For more information, visit: https://socan.eco/climate-concern.
