Our latest Kala in the Kitchen episode (linked in comments below) featured a heartfelt conversation about maintaining the sparkle in friendships as guest Kelly Chmielewski and Kala Venugopal Shah mixed up a delicious Oo La La holiday punch. Every episode will feature a great charity cause and this month we are collecting donations for the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. For the price of your next coffee, $5 provides 10 whole meals to a community member in need. Please support this great organization by clicking the link www.Bit.ly/MarinFoodBank2021.

Thank you, Stephen Murray, for sharing photos of these “happy survivors” of the receiving blankets from our collection drive dropped off just yesterday. May the warmth and comfort provided by these blankets help sustain and propel these survivors to a more stable housing situation in the near future.
