In the midst of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic and the racial justice reckoning after the murder of George Floyd, a brand-new approach to community-centered business has emerged. The Northside Cub location has partnered with non-profits We Push for Peace and A Mother’s Love Initiative to make Northside Cub a place that listens to, supports, and uplifts the community it serves. From remodeling how loss management, or shoplifting, is handled to creating a space within the grocery store’s walls for community activities and a food shelf, Northside Cub is moving beyond old business models by listening to community members and prioritizing community health and wellness.

 

Join us in this conversation with leadership from Cub, We Push for Peace, A Mother’s Love Initiative, and Gethsemene Lutheran Church as we discuss the partnership’s impacts on the community, challenges, and recommendations for those interested in cross-sector work.

 

The Cross-Sector Conversation Series provides an informal space for community members, students, staff, and faculty to engage in discussion. Speakers from different sectors illuminate examples from their own experience or research on ways to bring people together across boundaries to address a particular issue.
