Ridwell Reminder

CLARIFICATION IN RESPONSE TO RECENT QUESTIONS: The Terracycle box in the kitchen is for hard plastic clamshells and blister packs. Previously it was also intended for snack bags but now those go into Ridwell multilayer plastic container. NEXT RIDWELL FEATURED ITEM: kitchen utensils and silverware. Bring these in addition to any of your usual items by SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9. Yes, Sunday is the next prep day because our High School RE class will be sorting!

Remember: Ridwell  any lightbulbs *except fluorescent bulbs*. We are charged $4.00 a piece for fluorescents. You can take them to Hennepin County hazardous waste sites in Bloomington and Brooklyn Park. Please also make sure there isn’t any food residue left in your items—it is hard for the prep team to take time to clean and dry bags. Thanks for working toward zero waste! Contact Kathy (612-590-9606) or Sue (612-703-2297) with questions 💚

Jim Crow of the North

THE WEEK AHEAD: UUCM Is partnering with Beacon to host a screening of Jim Crow of the North on Tuesday, February 4 at 6:30 p.m.  The TPT documentary explores the origins of housing segregation in the Minneapolis area. It also illustrates how African-American families and leaders resisted this insidious practice, and how Black people built community — within and despite — the red lines that these restrictive covenants created. Contact Sue Fust with questions.
