This weekās Sunday Read brings together poetry, shared books, transformation, remembrance, and a candid conversation about addiction inside prisonāalong with updates from the Adopt an Inmate hive and our upcoming 10th Annual Volunteer Weekend.
Our 10th Annual Volunteer WeekendāBee Fest 2026āis coming August 7ā10. Help us raise $1,000 for volunteer meals, project supplies, and, if funding allows, small appreciation gifts for the people donating their time to this work. Donate or share the campaign today: https://givebutter.com/QTYbGt
This week was spent assembling things. In my kitchen, that meant cabinets, drawers, and a borrowed nail gun. At Adopt an Inmate, it meant reviewing the completed handoff of our new matching application. In both cases, things are beginning to look less like piles of parts and more like something that can actually be used.
Sometimes a Sunday Read becomes a Monday Read. This week, the delay came with progress: our new Volunteer Calendar & Events page is live, Letters From Prison: In the Classroom continues to grow, Bee Fest planning is underway, and after a year without a kitchen, we’re finally welcoming new cabinets. Come catch up on what’s been happening around the hive.
