At The Huss Project, we believe that the things we do grow out the stories we tell about ourselves and how we understand them. Creating space to tell and listen to our stories is a critical element for life-changing, life-giving community work. Inspired by The Moth Radio Hour, the Huss Project has facilitated storytelling nights for many...
At the Huss Project, we believe that our imaginative capacities are intricately linked to our physical needs as human beings, including having enough to eat. We also believe that the act of growing food is an act of hope, living into a future of abundance. What started as a community garden in 2010 has grown into...
An integral part of the work we do at Huss is prioritizing beauty and acknowledging community relationships in everything we do, including our recent construction projects!

For many years running, local poet Elisabeth Wenger has written a special poem for the occasion of Huss Future Festival and this year was thankfully no different. She has a beautiful way of capturing the spirit of a moment and connecting it with larger movements at work. We're so grateful that we've officially named her...

Each year, Huss Future Festival draws over 1,000 people for all sorts of fabulous fun, and the rummage sale is one of the biggest draws. The sale keeps good stuff out of the landfill, helps us get our families ready for school, and raises money to support community-building activities at Huss Project…win, win, win! To keep...
We asked friends, neighbors, and community partners to give us their ideas for the brand-new Imaginarium once it’s completed. Here’s what Mateo Mosher said: Where in Three Rivers is someone likely to spot you, and what would you be doing there? Either at a park playing with my brothers or at school. What is your connection to Huss? I usually...
