Event Description:

Join Veggie Mijxs DC and DC Greens on Saturday, September 21, to celebrate #LatinoConservationWeek! ? “Roots & Wellness: A Day of Community and Connection” will include the opportunity to volunteer at The Well at Oxon Run, helping to maintain a one-acre farm that showcases seasonal crops and a greenhouse. After volunteering, relax and unwind with a yoga class led by a local yoga instructor. Then, the group will enjoy a vegan meal together, promoting connection and supporting a local BIPOC-owned vegan restaurant. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water bottle to this day of community!

For 15 years, DC Greens has been advancing health equity by building a just and resilient food system. At their community farm and wellness space in Southeast, D.C., The Well at Oxon Run , they welcome community partners to join them in providing nutrition classes, physical exercise classes, mindfulness classes, and a range of children’s programs. That way, community members can fully enjoy the beautiful space while also accessing nutritious and sustainably grown produce.
