Our Community Support Program focus areas offer free participation in FoodWorks, NatureWorks, and ArtWorks throughout Hennepin County.
Avivo ArtWorks is a program within Avivo’s Community Support Program, which supports artists living with mental illness as they create art, build community, and reduce stigma. ArtWorks programming is founded on the principles of arts access, recovery, and social justice.
Avivo FoodWorks is a program within Avivo’s Community Support Program, which meets a community need. Food-based programming helps fill a recurring need shared by members: access to affordable, healthy food options. Programming also provides an opportunity for community partnerships with businesses in the food service and horticulture industries.
Avivo NatureWorks is a program within Avivo’s Community Support Program, which recognizes the restorative power of nature in recovery services. NatureWorks provides nature-based wellness activities and programming encouraging members to reconnect with the natural world to bolster members respect, appreciation, and awe of the Earth.
