Join Senator @MackDistrict6 and I at our next town hall at the Providence Southside Community Land Trust to share legislative updates and discuss municipal government updates as well.
We hope to see you soon! Share with friends, neighbors and community members.

“Ka was a beloved member of the community. Her death was an entirely preventable tragedy,” niece Robin Xiong said.
Please take a moment to read this moving tribute to Ka Xiong, by @southsideclt , where Ka worked as a gardener at the Peace and Plenty garden in Elmwood. 🌱💔 – at Providence, RI
Surprising fact from @USDA_NRCS - 95% of our food comes from soils, but it can take up to 1,000 years to form just 1 inch of soil. Time to learn the difference between dirt and soil on #WorldSoilDay
Happy #WorldSoilDay! We celebrate the farmers and ranchers who feed and nourish us by feeding and nourishing their soil. bit.ly/3UaT8iK
We are honored that our Youth Program Director, Raffini, has won a 2023 Bannister Award from
@RIMonthly. Raffini is an artist and activist but, most importantly, she has inspired a generation of youth to follow their dreams while giving back to their communities.

Yesterday, I spent time with community leaders who are creating opportunity for many through their respective work at @southsideclt, @CrossroadsRI, and @CityYearPVD!
I look forward to partnering with them in Congress to support families across Rhode Island. – at Rhode Island, USA
It was great to have you at our Healthy Food Hub #404BroadStreet this morning, @Rep_Magaziner! We look forward to partnering with you to increase healthy food access & build a more equitable food system in RI!
Access to quality food is key for living a healthy life. Today I visited @southsideclt in Providence, in support of locally produced, affordable, and healthy food.
This beautiful video follows Adena Marcellino, chef/owner of @BlackBeansPVD, as she visits the farmers who grow her produce in Cranston. All are supported by Southside & our funders. TY @POCFoundationRI for being one of them!
Over the summer, POC tagged along with grantee @southsideclt to visit #Cranston’s Urban Edge Farm.
There, @BlackBeansPVD was welcomed by farmers who were happy to harvest the food she’d cook for her restaurant’s soft launch.

The average Rhode Island household participating in SNAP receives $315 per month, which breaks down to just under $80 per week. That's not enough, said the @RIFoodBank CEO, Andrew Schiff. @amymrusso buff.ly/45p7mSw

Enjoying fall baking? Paper egg cartons can be recycled in your bin or cart, or added to a backyard compost bin >> atoz.rirrc.org/items/cardboa…
Plastic egg cartons can also be recycled, since they are plastic containers >> atoz.rirrc.org/items/plastic…

Great description of the path toward to truly great Farm Bill. sierraclub.org/sierra/5-ways…
Sadly, we need to undertake expensive, extensive research to prove the health benefits of eating fresh produce. npr.org/sections/health-shot…
