This February, Seward Co-op’s SEED Recipient is the Cultural Wellness Center, a nonprofit founded and sustained by African Americans which works to unleash the power of people to heal themselves and build community. One of the Cultural Wellness Center’s main efforts is to establish their future world headquarters, called Dreamland on 38th Street, just across 4th Ave. from the Seward Co-op Friendship store. Not only will this be a hub for Cultural Wellness Center activity, it will also play a significant role in reinvigorating a historic corridor of Black culture and business that once thrived in and around the intersection of 38th St. and 4th Ave. SEED donations in February will help the Cultural Wellness Center on their journey to breaking ground on Dreamland in spring of 2024.

On Friday, February 2, join Anthony Taylor, Community Development Lead at the Cultural Wellness Center, at the Friendship store classroom for a breakfast hour to learn about the history of Dreamland on 38th Street, the Cultural Wellness Center, and the surrounding neighborhood. Coffee and baked goods will be provided.

RSVP not required. If you do RSVP via the Eventbrite link below, we will send you a reminder email the day before the event.

The Friendship store is located at 317 E. 38th St. Minneapolis, MN. The classroom is in the northeast corner of the store, past the general seating area. It is mobility-device accessible.
