SUMMARY:Kensington Windsor Terrace Mutual Aid Community Potluck and Recipe Share
DESCRIPTION:This event brings together neighbors participating in the long-running Neighborhood Cooperative Food Distribution Project of the Kensington-Windsor Terrace Mutual Aid network.

The event is a community builder\, with a potluck and a recipe share. It will take place in a neighborhood backyard. It is wheelchair accessible\, although there will be some uneven ground. \nPlease email sofya.aptekar@gmail.com to RSVP.
