In this episode, we share how we’re managing our water reserves, give a quick tour of Maureen's newly insulated home, demonstrate a simple DIY bucket worm tower system, and head out to assess the aftermath of a devastating fire that completely destroyed a local teacher's home. Moving forward, we're putting other projects on pause to focus on how we can help clean up and rebuild. Thank you all for the continued love, prayers, and support for our community.
