A great day at the Westside CAN Orchard with the amazing team from Westside Boulevard Brewing Company!

Today was a wonderful opportunity to share the impact of our community policing program and our commitment to nutrition and health—from the tree to the table.

Our orchard helps provide fresh, healthy fruit to Westside/Kansas City community while bringing volunteers, partners, and neighbors together to make a positive difference.

Thank you to the amazing volunteer team for coming to help. The Westside… the Bestside!
