In Februrary, Wavepool opened The Welcome Market, a refugee- and immigrant-run market and kitchen, at both the best and worst possible time. The Welcome Market has been critical to getting food out to Camp Washington residents who need it most, but is struggling to gain revenue to maintain the program. Still, they’ve expanded their food delivery service and include a piece of local art in each food box to lift the spirits of the community.
You can donate to WavePool directly on CincinnatiCares.org to help them keep up with expanding food needs.
