Ongoing D2 Neighbors Initiatives |
|
|
|
| Hens for solidarity! Eggs for all!
Here's a great opportunity for D2 Neighbors looking for an easy way to get involved in immigrant solidarity. Donate fresh eggs to families in need in North and Northeast Portland, and at the same time support an immigrant-owned Oregon farming business. Of course, you can also purchase an egg CSA subscription for yourself! The hens are free-range on organic pasture. Families receiving donated eggs are low-income and include many immigrant households who need special support right now. To donate eggs or to subscribe to the CSA, visit: https://trent-family-farms.myshopify.com/
