New Hope Volunteer Creates Flowers for Race for the Cure - ccxmedia.org

PM Friday, May 10, 2019[embedded content]The annual Susan G. Komen Twin Cities Race for the Cure takes place on Mother’s Day, and a New Hope breast cancer survivor will play a prominent role.For the past 18 years, a group of volunteers have made their way to Jo Fachman‘s New Hope garage to arrange floral bouquets for Sunday’s Twin Cities Race for the Cure. Fachman is a former florist, and she uses her connections to get local shops to donate flowers by the truckload. Roughly 80 volunteers will spend the better part of a day making 3,500 floral arrangements. Then, the flowers will be hauled off to Southdale and put up in the survivor’s tent. “There’s five vendors here in the city that are wholesalers that donate me flowers,” said Fachman, a breast cancer survivor. “And without that, I couldn’t do this. Without my friends, it wouldn’t happen. And I’m just the little cog here that works to make it happen.” The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure kicks off at Southdale in Edina Sunday at 7 a.m. New Hope... https://ccxmedia.org/news/new-hope-volunteer-creates-flowers-for-race-for-the-cure/

Gallery presents photography by homeless community

Bloomington so the homeless community could show the town from their point of view. With the help of Shalom Community Center and New Hope for Families, the photography project began. Both organizations are homeless shelters in Bloomington. Groups of people from the homeless community were selected as photographers, and professional photographers volunteered to provide cameras and give photography lessons, Bloom managing editor Carmen Siering said. Bloom received more than 5,000 photographs of Bloomington from the homeless community, Siering said. Out of the thousands of photographs, they selected the highlights for a story in the December/January issue of Bloom Magazine. A benefit held by Shalom in November also gave the photographers an opportunity to display and sell their work. Siering, who wrote Bloom’s story about the project, said it was an eye-opening experience. “I was there from the very beginning so I could understand the process and get to know the photographers so they would feel comfortable with me,” Siering said. “I wanted them to know who I was. I wanted to be a person whom they could share their stories with.” The photographers did an amazing job, Siering said, and the project gives people experiencing homelessness a voice through both their photography and their stories. Abrams said he learned about the importance of Shalom, which gives people a place to stay from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Without Shalom, there would be many people out on the streets who wouldn’t have a place to shower, eat lunch, leave their personal belongings or get their mail, Abrams said. Forrest Gilmore, the executive director of Shalom, said it has been amazing to watch the photographers’ experiences come to life. They have a sense of pride and accomplishment, Gilmore said, and he loves seeing the joy on the photographers’ faces as their work is pra... http://www.idsnews.com/article/2016/01/what-does-bloomington-look-like-to-me
