Downtown Denver farm Altius Farms feeds families, and a nonprofit's budget | 9news.com
"Eventually, though, JFS also hopes the farm makes enough money to help offset possible losses in grants.
'We know the amount of government grants we’ve gotten in the past; we’re not going to be getting in the future. We need to find other ways to fund, and we need to increase the other sources of funding.'"

In this #horror #thriller from the creator of The Purge, a rebellious twentysomething is sentenced to #communityservice at a quiet #retirementhome. The residents on the fourth floor are strictly off-limits, said to require “special care.” As his suspicions grow and he digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling secret that puts both the residents’ lives and his own in grave danger.

Every so often I'm asked about how I became a bike advocate. Since it arose from lessons learned from my mom, I'm sharing this blog post on Mother's Day. Mom's been gone for years and her spirit lives on. https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2014/09/how-i-came-to-be-bike-advocate.html
And this one, on things she taught me: https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2009/09/3-things-my-mother-taught-me.html.

#Trump’s #budget calls for an elimination of the federal agency known as #AmeriCorps, whose funding for nationwide #CommunityService programs had already been slashed & its staff sent home.
Also on the list of agencies to be eliminated, which the admin said will “reduce *waste* & reduce unnecessary governmental entities,” are several small govt institutions that have been effectively gutted by #Musk’s #DOGE, including the US Institute of #Peace [#USIP] & the #Smithsonian’s Woodrow Wilson Center.
#ElonMusk’s #DOGE has ordered #AmeriCorps to terminate close to $400M in #grants — roughly 41% of the national service agency’s total funding for 2025, acc/to 3 people….
It’s the latest in a series of blows to the org, which deploys thousands of young people to work on #CommunityService projects across the US. The decision to eliminate millions of dollars in grants affects 1,031 orgs, & 32,465 AmeriCorps members & senior volunteers, the people said.

An interesting article about https://cosocial.ca/ by @timbray - If you're interested in running community services, you should read it.
They take Canadian paying customers only (50 Can$), got 200 ppl after 2y and will hire their first paid employee soon.
Shameless plug:
https://info.graz.social is also providing paid memberships which supports efforts to educate the masses about #Fediverse and #decentralization for people in and around #Graz (and I'm part of @wir). Meet us at #GLT25 on April 26: https://www.linuxtage.at/en/

@AimeeMaroux @burnoutqueen basically everyone I know would at least do some sort of "#CommunityService" if their existance wasn't dependent on #WageWork, even if it's just some simple #MutualAid as in helping some seniors by carring their groceries up the 2nd floor or driving someone to/back from a doctor's office if they feel shit or get put under for some reason and thus can barely coordinate their own movements, much less bike home on their own.
Among the most satisfying of the numerous Bicycling Monterey projects https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/donations-some-ways-your-money-can-help is providing an alternative to fines for people who receive citations while biking https://bikemonterey.org/bike-equity-project-alternative-to-fine-for-traffic-citations.html.
As we pointed out at the last #CalBike Policy Advisory Council meeting, although California legislation allows for a $25 fine for helmet citation (for minors), court costs mean that $25 becomes $193 in our county courts.
Tonight’s letter writing (below) provides one example of saving a local family money—in this case, $386, as the minor had received two citations. We do our best to tailor each minor’s community service to their individual learning style and family circumstances.
If you value the Bicycling Monterey site and projects, please consider making a donation to help support this work. https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations
