Sent 06/06/2025 June 13: We’re back with some amazing deals and a new summer hot bar and grab ‘n’ go menu! There will likely be limited availability of frozen products and possibly some refrigerated items as equipment is brought to the appropriate temperature and product is refilled. You’ll see some new shelving and resets of some products. Please ask for help finding what you need. We are here for you! This is an exciting time! As the project unfolds, we will be posting updates on our website, Facebook and Instagram, and in next week’s Ways to Save eblast. Please feel free to contact us at outreach@risingtide.coop if you have any questions. Thanks for your patience. This is exciting! Rising Tide Co-op seeks passionate member-owners for board service—where your leadership bolsters our shared ownership, supports local food systems, strengthens community connections, and ensures this vital community co-op thrives for generations to come. Contact Deb Singer at deb.s@risingtide.coop or call 617-797-4292 to learn how you can help our community thrive by serving on the Rising Tide Co-op Board. With Rising Tide, this is a more vibrant community! You’ll sample creative bites, sip a drink by the water, and cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award. It’s the kind of night that makes your whole trip! Veggies to Table was founded to bring healthy nutrient dense produce to the tables of hungry community members—a deep-rooted need not being fully met by other local initiatives. We are committed to bringing normalcy and dignity to individuals and families who have lost control over that most basic of choices and decisions— what to eat. After consulting with food security initiatives in our community, we aim to complement and supplement other local efforts—filling the gaps by growing and donating nutritious, top-quality, and culturally appropriate crops for our recipients. We work with a network of over 35 local partners who distribute our produce and flowers to those in need in our community. All proceeds will help make sure that no one in our community has to choose between eating food and paying rent, while bringing YOU to Paris or, Paris to YOU! Please register to any or all planting sessions using this link. Be on the look out for two more visits to the garden this year in August and September. Contact Christina Fitzpatrick at cfitzpatrick@wabanakiphw.org with any questions. Hope to see you all there! 🌽🌱Sign up for The Rising Times newsletter and get this great information straight in your email!
