Nearby: Richmond, CABy Kathy Chouteau The Richmond Standard In Richmond, a small cabinet can carry a big message: dinner is here, no questions asked. Richmond Area Mutual Aid (RAMA) has created a map of current Little Free Food Pantries across the city. The neighborhood outposts encourage anyone to take what they need and leave what they can. The map connects residents with pantries that may be as simple as a shelf, box or cabinet outside a home or business. According to RAMA’s website, the spaces can hold shelf-stable groceries and fresh produce that can safely spend some time outside refrigeration. The operating principle is as clear as the group’s motto: “Give what you can, take what you need.” One of the map’s sites is near 34th Street and Roosevelt Avenue, where Achala Jayagoda and her family host a pantry that began as a Little Free Food Table during the pandemic. Her son, Eagle, founded it. The pantry has since grown into a lasting neighborhood resource.

The Student Life · Berkeley, CA
Nearby: Berkeley, CAThis semester, I noticed that blue-haired students kept spawning. Intrigued, I approached nine of these students to find out how this trend came out of the blue. Though there were shared sentiments among students — being blue helped them stand out, pushed back against stereotypes or brought them closer to themselves and others — everyone had a different story to share. My first exposure to a blue-haired person at the Claremont Colleges was my first-year fall, when Phoebe Fogel SC ’28 and I took “Introductory Ancient Greek.” Fogel, a Classics and English major from Massachusetts, dyed her hair blue the summer before her senior year of high school. Her explanation: “I just think it looked cool.” I soon found out that many of my blue-haired subjects are new to the 5Cs, including Miriam Allen SC ’30 and Walker Lewis PO ’30. Allen and Lewis, who both hail from Berkeley, California, felt that changing their hair solidified their sense of selves in moments of instability.
