GreenStar Community Projects invites you to join the third annual Food Justice Summit – Saturday, September 21st – a community-wide event designed to promote awareness of and encourage a sustainable and equitable local food system right here in our own backyard. Join us in FEEDING OUR FUTURE.

Come celebrate the achievements our community has made, while uniting our voices to raise awareness and foster conversations leading to positive change. The afternoon Street Fair features a tantalizing spread of food offered by local cooks, a great lineup of local musicians, and a super keynote speaker.

“Working for a Better Food Future” is a fun(d)raising event that will kick off the day, where community members will champion this cause by participating in the farm-a-thon challenge. Farmer Champions will aim to raise their own fundraising goal by volunteering as a farmer for several hours in the morning, and sharing their experience with family and friends who have pledged donations. Want to take on the challenge of being a farmer? Sign up as a “Champion” Farmer here: wwwfoodjusticeworkathon2013.peaksoverpoverty.org
