We have an update to share with all of you. Over the next few months, the Pollen board and staff are preparing to sunset Pollen and intentionally phase out its programming. pollenmidwest.org/stories/sunset

I never thought that little email newsletter we all started together back in 2008 would grow like it did, but those roots of caring connectivity we planted went deep! TY Pollen staff, members, funders, donors, partners, board members, volunteers and friends for an amazing run!!

See here for a story on our celebration of Pollen’s life. pollenmidwest.org/stories/sunset

We hope that this ending can be an opportunity for new growth and that Pollen’s work will live on through the many people who were involved throughout its life.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Rise and Hive last month! Join us for the next one on March 7th at The Briar. riseandhiveMar24.eventbrite.com #RiseAndHive

For months, the remaining team at Pollen has been imagining a more healing and restorative response beyond the examples we experience or expect. Before we move forward by sharing more programming and stories, please take a moment to read Ruby’s last word. pollenmidwest.org/stories/the-la…
