HEALTH, WEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF TALLAHASSEE NEIGHBORHOODS!
The word "renaissance" means: rebirth or renewal, and this event is designed to do just that!
The Frenchtown Renaissance is designed to ignite the mind, elevate the body and nourish the spirit by focusing on three (3) major areas to enhance the health, safety and economic stability of Frenchtown and the entire community. The purpose of the event is to empower citizens through awareness, education and experiential learning, to take action in rebounding from the pandemic and its impact, whether that is by addressing mental, emotional, environmental or physical health; learning methods for economic and financial stability; providing input on public safety; or just coming out to fellowship with neighbors and friends. The event will highlight locally grown talent, feature Frenchtown/Southside entrepreneurs, local food vendors, gardeners/climate specialists, community agencies and employers; government officials, and musical artists at this free, family friendly event.

OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE FURTHER: DRMI is a nonprofit 501c3 organization with a mission to help all people to live more enriching lives. We accomplish our mission by partnering youth with seniors to teach/learn technology through our Geeks & Gramps Program (co-sponsored by the RRF Foundation for Aging); providing anger management, substance abuse/misuse, and other human/emotional development programs behind the prison walls, court-ordered individuals and to returning citizens. We understand that as we collaborate and partner with other community organizations, we help to build capacity, which helps us all to help individuals in our communities to live more productive, fulfilled and enriched lives.
