Are we still reeling from last week? Yes

Are we still looking for ways we can affect change here to bolster community for whatever may come? Also yes. 

So we’re headed to Greenfield to take a tour of Stone Soup Cafe. The organization is multi-faceted in it’s approach to combating hunger and building community, so we’ll explore the kitchens and programs under the All Souls Church with director Kirsten Levitt, and Board director Whitney Robbins, to learn how they are teaching, supporting, and feeding the people of Western Mass. 

Also on this Veteran’s Day, it’s in how we are providing services to those who have served the country. Steve Connor, Director of Veterans affairs for Central Hampshire County, speaks with us about what they provide to those returning from military service, the needs of the office, and how the ways the public can help. 

And post election, Mr. Universe, Kainaat Studios and Hampshire College’s Salman Hameed, explores what it means for American Space exploration now that Elon Musk has been inserted into the conversation, including a possible shift in focus from the moon to Mars.
