Having a sense of community and belonging keeps people attached to goals and positive outcomes.  CHEW events and activities foster a sense of intentional community with a focus on issues, activities and interests that complement our PAN and Gaia’s Gift programs.  We offer monthly lectures and workshops that address movement and exercise, personal growth, life skills, and wellness concepts.  We also “break bread” together via potlucks and explore “making” in hands-on activities (on hiatus during Covid-19). CHEW, like PAN and Gaia’s Gift, is informed by the people that participate in them. We regularly seek feedback and guidance from our community stakeholders to inform our ongoing development and evolution.
