Community is created and supported in many ways, including in our local grocery stores! Join the Division of Access, Engagement, and Success and the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement for an Into the ROC Community Dinner!

This program will start in PRISM (CPC 2050) with a screening of 2 episodes of the PBS program, "The Grocery List Show". These episodes focus on small Latine and Afro-Caribbean grocery stores and the roles they play in supporting culture and community. From there, we'll head to Carmen's Cooking in Brighton, NY, for dinner with 2 local store owners and to learn about their experiences operating specialty stores and how their work uplifts Afro-Caribbean and Latine culture.

**Dinner will be served buffet-style with gluten-free and vegan options
