Lewiston Auburn Community Market: Local Food, Community, and Belonging on Park Ave (Senior College in the Community)

Arlo Hennessey, Membership Organizer for the Lewiston Auburn Community Market and board member(s) will be present to discuss what and where the upcoming co-op market will be and how the idea for the Lewiston Auburn Community Market came to be. 

This presentation will teach about the significance of local produce and cultural food in Lewiston and beyond in Maine. Participants will also learn about the importance of creating a space that is welcoming and cultivates belonging for the whole community, while honoring the roots of the immigrant community. There will also be opportunity to learn about why and how to become a member owner and help shape the direction of your community cooperative market!
