Description

We are looking forward to getting to know each other, having fun, and sharing some resources tools to improve our communities! KonsiderDis and Washington Parks and People in partnership with Everything Supa are thrilled to invite you and your family to a Together We Eat (community stye dinner) at Riverside Healthy Living Center on Wednesday, November 24th at 5pm! Research shows that sharing family meals is good for the spirit, brain, and health of the entire family. The benefits of family meals include better academic performance, higher self-esteem, a greater sense of resilience. In addition, children who eat dinner with their families have a lower risk of substance abuse, depression, disordered eating, and rates of obesity! The Together We Eat was initiated in 2016 and has provided hundreds of meals to community members living in food-insecure neighborhoods. The meals provided for the Together We Eat will be prepared by the staff of Washington Parks and People and KonsiderDis at the historic "Riverside Healthy Living Center". After the event, we will deliver meals to the saturated neighborhoods where homeless community members reside. The meal delivery also provides students and community members with an opportunity to earn service hours. Those delivering the meals will have additional PPE supplies to follow the COVID-19 protocol. Together We Eat has been a great success and is a prime example of a successful community partnership,” Nikki said. “Since it was started a few years ago, it has received a warm welcome. The event started between friends but has grown to address the food insecurity issues of our community. If you and your family are interested in joining us for a night of food, fun, and conversation, please contact Nikki at 202-630-6836 or [email protected] by November 20th. Space is limited, so we look forward to hearing from you soon! We hope to see you there! People who wish to help in either the purchase of food or other items can contact Nikki at 541-997-2651. We can support this project with funding from KonsiderDis and Washington Parks and People with additional funding from potential business owners and partnerships. anonymous donors.     DorisJune: Straightforward but coy radio star covers everything from sex to religion with some of the most influential entrepreneurs, musicians, artists in the DMV and beyond! Succeeding her success in radio, DorisJune built a devoted community network to service the underserved community members of Ward 7 and 8 in Washington D.C through her KD Initiative. ​     Sade B.: Entrepreneur, Student, Facilitator, and Philanthropist alike, Trini hails from Trinidad and Tobago.
