Gift Economy in Action
Karma Kitchen Hayward launched with beautiful energy, bringing gift economy to the East Bay community. One guest commented, "This was absolutely necessary in East Hayward, which doesn't have a good image due to many community challenges."
A teacher who visited with her mom and aunt was so moved that she plans to bring all her students to experience it. The anonymous gifts on the kindness table touched many hearts, and everyone understood the pay-it-forward idea to keep the inspiration rippling.
