On Martha’s Vineyard, the hungry children are hard to see. But they’re here, hundreds of them, in every Vineyard town and school.

Rev. Cathlin Baker recently completed a four-month sabbatical in Scotland, thanks in part to a grant from the Louisville Institute.

Seventeen years ago, Jim’s Package Store in Oak Bluffs began selling Christmas trees. Not to make extra money, but to give back to the community.
