Once again, local food organizations, and regular folks making a difference, will come together to train other residents and plug them into their local food system as a tool for ending childhood hunger by 2015.

There are two rounds of workshops to choose from, on the following topics: community gardens, faith gardens, school gardens, urban farms, nutritious meal prep, urban chickens, farm to school, food rescue, food preservation, and local food policy. Contact Margaret Weiner of Transition Des Moines or (515) 331-1666.

Over 100 fans of alternative transportation got a chance to show their dedication August 8th as they posed for “Shoot Your Commute” photos on the heat-radiated pavement in the East Village, then escaped inside at The Continental for some socializing, food, and live music by Jason Walsmith of The Nadas!

Special thanks to all of our partners for making this event possible:
DART – Des Moines Area Regional Transportation, www.TobinBennett.com, Drive Time Des Moines, COSC – Center on Sustainable Communities, Meredith Corporation, MODUS, NNRPP – Neighborhood and Natural Recreation Preservation Project
