Helping Harvest

Thank you to Giorgio Fresh Co. for the generous donation of 2,907 pounds of gorgeous shiitake, brown clamshell and yellow oyster mushrooms this week.

Now that's a lot of tasty fungus! 🍄

Of course, our chefs immediately got to work utilizing some of this beautiful product, making a mushroom alfredo sauce. And believe us when we tell you, it was DELICIOUS!

This is just the beginning of our wonderful partnership with Giorgio, with much more to come! Thank you so much for your support -- your generosity will help us fulfill our mission to provide nutritious food to people facing hunger in our communities.

"I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons."
~Abraham Lincoln, The Emancipation Proclamation 🎩

On this Juneteenth, we commemorate the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in the U.S. finally learned of their freedom...more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

Juneteenth is a celebration of resilience, liberation, and the ongoing pursuit of justice and equity. We believe that food is a fundamental right and that everyone deserves access to fresh, nutritious food.

Today and every day, we honor the spirit of Juneteenth by working toward a more just and equitable future - one where everyone in our community has access to adequate nutritious food.

We hope you'll join us in paying tribute to Old Glory on this . Let's hear it for the star-spangled banner! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
