Have Fun and Help Create Permanent Affordable Housing
The Ella Jo Baker Intentional Community Cooperative is committed to building community and supporting its neighborhood, Columbia Heights. The cooperative, which honors the lifelong effort of community activist Ella Jo Baker, is finalizing construction of its 15 units of permanently affordable housing in Columbia Heights.
The cooperative is hosting a Community Bazaar to bring together new neighbors, raise money and have fun on Saturday, Feb. 22, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, 2437 15th St. NW. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. You can participate by attending, performing, sharing your skills (face painting, yoga, dance, whatever), or by donating items for the bake sale, bazaar or silent auction. Items will be collected through Feb. 20. Volunteers are also needed to staff the bazaar. Contact Parisa Norouzi at 202/588-5255 or send an e-mail here for more information.
