Newsletter Fall 2017

Thanks for Supporting our 2017 Garden Gala!
This was our 4th annual fundraiser and we were BLOWN AWAY by the support and passion our community exhibited! Although we anticipated greater numbers than last year, we did not (as you could see by the lines down the street) anticipate this amazing groundswell of attendance and support!
We had a goal this year of raising $75k. With the generosity of our community, and their belief in the Green Plate Special mission and the vision we share of a healthier community and environment, we far surpassed our goal! Together with our guests, Board of Directors and our sponsors, PCC Community Markets, Stoel Rives LLP and Caffe Vita, we raised $125,000 in support of Green Plate Special’s gardening and cooking programs!

Dumplings, Ladybugs, and Blue Pizza this Summer at GPS
We rounded out the summer with 7 weeks of fun-filled camps! Youth participated in all parts GPS, from collecting chicken eggs (sometimes as many as 15 in one day!), to tending the garden, art projects, and sharing delicious lunches that we cooked together in teams. We couldn’t have done it without the incredible energy and talents of our interns Alec, Emily, and Alanna.
