Thank you for joining us!

These Federal cuts will have very real and significant negative impacts on the work we do at Forge City Works and other organizations like ours, and will negatively hurt the population we serve. https://lnkd.in/eGdAYgmi

I was finally about to visit The Grocery on Broad, a wonderful addition to Hartford, CT’s Frog Hollow neighborhood brought to us by Ben Dubow and Forge City Works . A beautiful example of the power of social enterprise by bringing healthy food choices to our communities! #healthyfood #socialenterprise
