Monthly Challenge
Share Resources with a Friend
At RR, we believe that all flourishing is mutual and the best way for us to share our resources is by tapping into our networks. We send our friends memes everyday, why not send them articles and resources that they can actually use in their personal or professional lives? It could be as simple as forwarding this newsletter!

Share rural resources with us at radicallyrural@hannahgrimes.com.
What's Working
Community Dinner
In Nelsonville, OH, neighbors get together on Thursdays at a local park to have dinner together. It's a simple idea, but sharing food together and serving one another is an impactful way to build community in rural towns. Learn more about how they did it here.
