Homelessness in the suburbs is closer to home than many realize — and the conversation around it deserves more than a comment section. We’ve decided to host a monthly event at the coffeehouse to bring that conversation off-line and into community. Drinks are on us. Conversations will go from 6:30p-8:30p and we aim to have them live-streamed and available on Facebook and YouTube.
There is a max of 30 people to attend each month due to space and to help the conversations be productive, Attendees can arrive as early as 6pm.
What to expect:
We're working to bring together voices from the City of Anoka, Anoka County, and local nonprofits doing this work — to share data and ground-level insights on suburban homelessness in our area. From there, we'll open the floor for discussion around one of the harder questions: what does it actually look like to show genuine compassion while also holding space for accountability?
Fill out the form to share questions, concerns, info you’d like to share, or things you’d like to walk away with. Even better, register for one of the upcoming conversations.
