Community Harvest Celebration with Mandy Kimes
Bring fresh produce from your garden or from the Farmer’s Market to share with local food programs. Let’s show our gratitude for the fall harvest and our ability to share with others. We will also be discussing community with Mandy Kimes.
Mandy Kimes is originally from the Chicagoland area but has lived in Ripon for the last 12 years. Mandy never imagined herself in a place like Ripon but has grown to love the connections that are possible when living in a smaller community. For 9 years Mandy worked as a Campus Minister with Ripon college students where she learned a great deal about what it means to live in community with one another. Mandy’s greatest lessons about community have come from her experiences during her time in the Dominican Republic over the last 8 years. Mandy now works as the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce and works to help Ripon be a welcoming, vibrant community to all that live, work and visit.
