Events & Activities Calendar

Badger Prairie Needs Network is proud to host a variety of classes, career training opportunities, fundraisers, our popular Community Meal, and free public events.  Most of the events take place in the Kasieta Center, our gathering place for the community.

It is also home to our popular Community Meal accommodating the comfortable seating of 144 guests for lunch and the distribution of 200 meals every Saturday.

Art in the Kasieta Center

The current installation is the work of students of Inventiva Works, the only organization in Madison offering art and theater classes for adults and children in Spanish. With the assistance of a Dane Arts grant, Inventiva Works students painted 10 pieces with a cultural food theme that will be on display permanently at BPNN.

ESL FOR HEALTH & WELLNESS
Thursdays, May 16 - June 27 from  9:30-11:45AM
Badger Prairie Needs Network has partnered with Madison College to offer this 7-week course. It focuses on English for communicating with health professionals and navigating the healthcare industry.
