Father’s Day Grocery Giveaway @814WestChurch
If you’ve seen the #UnityMural at Interstruct’s new HQ at 814 West Church Street, you’ve seen activist Jennifer Desire who has seemingly stepped right off the wall to lend a hand to neighbors in need. Jenn thinks big and helps many, just as she did last Sunday for the Jennifer H. Desire and Interstruct, Inc. Grocery Giveaway event. Jenn and her enthusiastic team of volunteers shopped and organized pantry and perishable items for 100 families. The Interstruct team ensured a clean and safe space to work and joined the volunteers on Sunday. Watch for a new website (#814WestChurch) to connect the Parramore community to future events!
