Community matters. 🤍
I’m a social work intern at Rush, working in communities during some really heavy times, and food continues to be one of the ways I stay rooted in care, connection, and mutual aid.
We’re starting a fundraiser for this month, and for this pop-up we’ll be donating $1 from every sandwich sold, plus a fundraiser link in our bio.
A little “everything connects” moment: my supervisor at Rush interned years ago.
Care travels.
Come eat with us.
