Mutual Aid Midlands is launching a new project! Food for Thought: A Literary/Social Justice Partnership. The goal is simple: to celebrate literary arts and feed people. The prompt is "what does food mean to you?" They are asking for submissions about food - wherever it takes you. Poetry, fiction, and essays are welcome. Share your heart! With your submission, donations of any amount to address hunger in the Midlands are deeply appreciated. 100% of donations to MAM are used to feed our neighbors struggling with food insecurity. Chosen literary submissions will be shared on their website and social media and will eventually be made into a book. Learn more about the project here: https://www.facebook.com/MutualAidColumbiaSC/.
