Connections: Highlighting local grassroots projects that help the community

We often hear about big ideas and highly-funded projects whose goal is to help the community, but what about smaller, grassroots efforts that do the same?

This hour, we highlight organizations and efforts that are building healthy neighborhoods and communities. Our guests:

  • Debbie Sigrist, coordinator of the foot clinic at St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality 
  • Horace Medlock, guest and volunteer at St. Joseph's House of Hospitality
  • Toyin Anderson, alumna of the Parent Leadership Training Institute who helped build a spray park at the Roxie Ann Sinkler R-Center
  • Paul Barrows, manager atDreamBikes
