Dan and Cassie Green, and Cassie's sister, Gina Casillas, had a great idea to help enrich and transform Eau Claire - a place where people can share their abundance, freely - their material wealth as well as their wealth of talent. Following the example of Really, Really Free Markets elsewhere, they are working to build generosity, community and meet needs in a way that cares for the environment and takes our world citizenship seriously.
