Our 2023 fundraising opportunities focus on strengthening the ecology, economy and equity that are all integral to our mission for cultural transformation.
As our organization grows and becomes more diverse in its offerings, your contribution will directly serve the whole in the coming year.
This year’s Green Feast pledges support regenerative agriculture, experiential programming,
culinary exploration, and service to our community as we all cultivate a “give more than you take” ethos.
