Personal Pantry Drive

May 1-June 2, 2022 with a Truro Library May 31, 2-5 p.m.
We will be collecting donations for HOW's Personal Product Pantry from May 27 - June 2. In addition to the services we provide for women with chronic illness on the Outer Cape, HOW operates a Food and Personal Care Products Pantry - open to anyone in need from Eastham to Provincetown.
While SNAP helps address food insecurity - a major challenge in our rural community - these benefits don't cover essential non-food items such as toothpaste, menstrual pads, bath soap, and household cleaner.
Together with your support, we can provide these items to help ease the burden of cost, transportation, and worry that may come with chronic illness or economic hardship. Your donations help make it possible for us to offer these items to those in need!
Building Bridges Not Walls
Workshops with Cape Mediation

June 18, 1:00-3:30 p.m.
Cape Mediation offers a highly-interactive, two-hour workshop on conflict resolution. Through the use of highly-interactive exercises and role-plays, participants will be introduced to important tools to improve communication. This intensive two-hour workshop will help people learn to manage conflict in a productive way, as an opportunity for change and positive growth. Workshop leaders teach listening skills, help prioritizing goals, and understanding conflict, and tailor the workshop to the specific needs of participants. Though this workshop is often taught in a business or organization setting, we envision these workshops as opportunities to build bridges within the community. Any town or community group (including a neighborhood or an informal group!) can use these workshops to get past communication roadblocks and thrive in a more constructive environment. Space is limited. Please call the library to sign up.
