📰 News we're reading

• From nearly shutting down to rolling forward: How a roller rink saved a local food non-profit (kdvr.com) — A Lakewood roller rink’s unused warehouse space has become a crucial new home for Joy’s Kitchen, allowing the food nonprofit to quickly resume feeding local families after suddenly losing its warehouse just before Thanksgiving. Volunteers cleared the rink’s back area in days, and the group is now serving hundreds of families again while urgently seeking more financial support and volunteers.
