On Conexo and CHEER

Over at the Takoma Foundation’s website, there’s a piece on Conexo and CHEER. Conexo is a fall 2020 grantee of the Takoma Foundation.

Here’s one paragraph from the article:

Conexo is a small informal group whose members assist with CHEER’s weekly food distributions, bagging food and setting up at these events. They sign people up for the distributions and send reminders. When someone is sick or pregnant a Conexo member might deliver food to that individual’s house.

Here’s another paragraph:

Conexo members also grow food in community gardens, meeting twice a week to work on three plots in Takoma Park near New Hampshire Estates. This gives them access to fresh fruits and vegetables that they would ordinarily have a hard time affording.
