Congratulations to Don Day, winner of a Missourian Progress Award for his dedication to social justice! Don has also been a dedicated garden leader at Broadway Christian Church garden for many years. Keep up all your good work, Don!

Our community is lucky to have you both!

Don says one of the best ways to improve social equality…

…is to get to know each other. Statewide and nationally we’ve had a lot of encounters with people of different races. Really, if you get acquainted about people and learn about them, you find out they have a lot of the same problems and challenges that you do, and you find out they’re really great people.

Adam says…

Everybody eats, so there’s opportunities for tons and tons of progress in the world of food here in Boone County and across the country, really.
