This Sunday, we will consider noticing beauty, being open to awe, and being saved by “the one group chat where no one pretends to be okay”—as mentioned in Matt Moberg’s ode to tenderhearted weirdos—and finding moments of gratitude in the everyday. [Image from stockcake.com]
The Share the Plate for July 26 and August 2 will be the United Way of Northeastern Minnesota’s Fire Help fund.
Thousands of people in northeastern Minnesota remain displaced or on standby as wildfires continue to burn across the region. UWNEMN is closely monitoring the Boundary Waters wildfires and working with their colleagues in disaster relief and recovery for the communities impacted. All funds raised go directly to support local disaster relief and recovery efforts.
