During last Friday's workday, *cino interns (like Chelsea, above) and staff prepared the old Kindergarten Room for a Storytelling Night that evening. The room has come along way in the last year; the drop ceiling is entirely gone, which makes the space feel so much more open! But the biggest, most exciting work in recent...
In less than a month, The Huss Project will host our Fourth Annual Future Festival! Last year we had a great variety of art vendors (as seen above). We had everything from felt mushrooms sewn by Emily Ulmer to paintings of vegetables by Larry-Michael Hackenberg to graffiti of sea creatures on records by Thomas Brothers. This...
The inaugural Huss Future Festival in 2010 featured a GIGANTIC rummage sale. Now, after narrowing the focus to books and clothing for a couple of years, the 2013 festival will see a return to the secondhand glory of the first year! We're now accepting donations for the mega-sale, which will take place on July 20...
Costa Rica is a beautiful land to come from, filled with life teeming in its forests and in its water. I am fortunate to belong to this soil. I am blessed to live amongst the colors of Latin America, and to dance with its people. To leave this sanctuary and come to the United States...
It's getting hotter and hotter out there and we all need to keep hydrated! Ainsley Rynders, *cino summer intern, fills glasses full of water to wash down a freshly made chicken pad thai at our most recent Underground Supper Club. We are passionate about cooking, and we love to share it with others; but, like...

Setting up this past Tuesday evening, we hoped for but never expected the neighborhood-clearing success of our very first Family Fun Night of 2013! We had over 20 people show up to play kickball and basketball, compete in board games, blow bubbles, and make crafty, yarn-based cat's eye...
This past Saturday, volunteers for Triple Ripple Community Garden at the Huss Project gathered to work together on some much needed projects. We had seven volunteers come out, enabling us to accomplish a wonderful amount of work in less time than we bargained for. What did we get done? We staked and caged all the tomato...
The *culture is not optional community got pretty excited when we realized we had raised enough money to pay the balloon payment on our mortgage and that we were going to be able to keep the historic Huss School property for continuing community development work in Three Rivers. We may have broken out into celebratory...
Future Festival is coming on July 20 (so soon!), and we are always looking for volunteers to help out with the wonderful chaos that the festival can bring. There is plenty to do before the event, and plenty to do the day of, so if you're looking to help out, we will welcome your willing...
We are very pleased to announce that, through a partnership with Three Rivers Community Schools, there will be FREE summer lunches for kids at the Huss Project. Wow! "WHEN?" you ask. Lunches will be distributed Monday through Thursday from noon-12:15, beginning next Monday on June 17 and ending August 8 (no lunches the week of July...
