Coffee & Connection

About

Coffee & Connection is a monthly program that brings local organizations directly into the library to connect with the people they serve. Each month, the Concord library hosts a different community group to give patrons an open, welcoming space to ask questions, share concerns, and learn about available resources. We encourage an honest dialogue to help strengthen relationships between community members and the organizations that support them. Whether patrons want information, need assistance, or wish to voice feedback, the Concord library provides a respectful forum for conversation and connection...and coffee. Coffee and snacks will be provided. This month we will be hosting GROW, a non-profit organization that is committed to providing kindness, compassion and basic life necessities to unhoused individuals and those in need in our community. Founded in early 2022 by Kelly McKinley and Andie Altman, GROW–which stands for Grass Roots Outreach Warriors–has already made a tremendous impact in the community by bringing together scores of unhoused neighbors and community volunteers. GROW provides food, hydration, and hygiene care, plus opens the doors to resources that offer services, including physical and mental care. GROW’s actions lead to compassionate interactions and friendships where people work together and bring results. Programming is made possible thanks to support from the Concord Friends of the Library.
