Do you eat food, or know someone who does? Then you should know about
Come to the Table - A Community Food Summit taking place this October.
Imagine a community where no child comes to school hungry. Everyone
has access to safe, local, sustainably grown food, with thriving rural
farms and a rich patchwork of vibrant urban gardens and markets. A
prosperous local food economy that provides entrepreneurial
opportunities and good jobs that can't be outsourced. Imagine a
community that has recognized the realities of climate change and peak
oil, and has taken charge of its food future.
Now imagine that place is your community - South Puget Sound.
Sound impossible? A growing number of individuals, organizations and
community leaders think that it is not only possible but essential
that we realize this vision. That's why we are coming together to host
Come to the Table - A Community Food Summit this October.
The goal of the Food Summit is to bring our community together to
celebrate, network and develop an action plan for a safe, local and
sustainable food system for all.
On the last Wednesday of July, New Moon Cafe will be sponsoring the
Food Summit with their monthly "Pay What You Can" day. Breakfast will
cost what you can afford to pay and 100% of the proceeds will be
donated to Sustainable South Sound, supporting the Food Summit this
Fall.
The New Moon Cafe is located in downtown Olympia, 113 4th Ave. W. If
you haven't yet had a meal at this restaurant, July 27th is the day!
They will be open during their regular hours, form 7:30a to 2:30p.
For more information on the Food Summit, check out the website for

Share this event and lets get the word out!
Kindly,
Dani Madrone
