Because Everybody Has Something Worthwhile
To Contribute To Their Community
What We're Focused on Right Now:
The Worthwhile Mercantile is opening on March 2nd, 2026 at 102 Home St. in Talent. The Mercantile will offer free food and essentials - with a side of community connection - for our neighbors in Talent who need a little extra support.
Pantry Initiative provides whatever is necessary to ensure that those who need food assistance in Talent are not underserved in either food or social connection and that the Pantry serves as a stable and beneficial community resource beyond basic food provision.
The Talent Period Dignity Project aims to eliminate period poverty in Talent by making menstrual supplies accessible to anyone who needs them. We strongly believe that everyone deserves the right to manage their period with dignity.
Programs in the Queue
With the types of projects we're planning, we think we'll be able to create something really cool that helps local residents connect and meaningfully improve their lives. But we also hope our programming inspires a strong culture of service, generosity, and reciprocity in Talent.​
