Community Calendar

For one year Robin Greenfield is foraging every bite of his food and medicine. A year without grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies or even a garden. “Nature” is his garden!
Is it possible to eat in harmony with Earth and live in reciprocity? Robin wholeheartedly believes so and is putting this love and devotion for Earth into bold action as he harvests the food and medicine that is growing freely and abundantly all around us.

He is traveling to our community to share his foraging journey and celebrate the individuals and organizations in our community working for a more resilient, local food system. He will also share about the 1 Million Community Fruit Trees Initiative and invite us to get involved in this grassroots collaborative effort in food sovereignty.

Join us for an eye opening exploration of food sovereignty through the food and medicine that is growing abundantly all around us.

The “Letitia Carson: Life & Legacy of Oregon’s Earliest Known Black Homesteader” presentation highlights the challenges and contributions of Letitia Carson, a 19th-century pioneer, rancher, and midwife. We’ll share her remarkable journey to homesteading in Oregon and the ongoing efforts of the Letitia Carson Legacy Project (LCLP) to carry Letitia’s enduring spirit into our collective future. The LCLP is a collaborative effort between OSU’s Center for Resilient Agriculture, Oregon Black Pioneers, Mudbone Grown, Black Oregon Land Trust, and the Linn-Benton chapter of the NAACP.

Speaker Bio: Charlotte Epps is a place-based facilitator and storyteller, plant lover, and the Letitia Carson Legacy Project Coordinator with Oregon Black Pioneers. She graduated from Oregon State University with a BS in BioResource Research, specializing in Plant Growth & Development and Sustainable Ecosystems, in addition to a BS in Sustainability. Charlotte is passionate about building bridges between cultures and disciplines to move towards a more just and equitable future. While nomadic in spirit, she considers Oregon and the Pacific Northwest her home. She is drawn to work that contributes to more Black, Brown and Indigenous people experiencing the benefits of being connected to this land, as well as the histories and ecosystems held here.

Casual meetings once a month (except December) to increase awareness of the work Community Works does for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking in Jackson County, Oregon, and to further the mission of Community Works. Each month we explore new subjects that are educational and offer opportunities for interesting discussion. Along with this, we have project ideas for helping to lift our clients and the community. Community Works is here to bring HOPE, SUPPORT, and EMPOWERMENT to those impacted by violence.
