This community service project aims to beautify the home's outdoor space to create a more welcoming atmosphere for the youth residents to hang out in. We will be doing some light landscaping, including weeding, mulching some flower beds, planting flowers, and improving the backyard patio area.
Please join our next virtual gathering to discuss The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett (a #1 New York Times Bestseller and Good Morning America Book Club Pick). The novel follows twin sisters, inseparable as children, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds, one black and one white. How can fiction aid our understanding of race issues (past and present)? What can we learn about colorism from this book? What is the significance of the title?

#WeAreHingham, the community based visual project, is the talk of the town, but we want make sure that all who live, work, study or worship in Hingham are part of the conversation! We will break into small, moderated groups for an open dialogue about our individual and collective experiences in and hopes for our town, sharing thoughts on topics such as why we chose to live here and our aspirations for this community. Registration required so we can properly plan for small group moderators. We are very excited to be offering light bites from Clandestine Kitchen and beer from Untold Brewing for purchase following the moderated discussion. These local businesses will be donating 25% of their proceeds from the event. We are very lucky to have Liora Norwich, Executive Director of the Network for Social Justice, planning and facilitating this event with us.
