Come join Growing Alliances for an evening of community and food to support Bellingham’s fostered youth! We are raising money to support our employment program that hires youth who are been involved in the foster care system into jobs on community gardens. Thus far, the Bellingham community and businesses have been immensely supportive, through spreading the word, making generous donations and purchasing tickets to our fundraiser. Businesses who have supported us with donations to our dinner or silent auction include, but are not limited to:
- Whole Foods
- The Bellingham Co-Op
- Desire Fish Company
- The Downtown Emporium
- Backcountry Essentials
- The Pickford Film Center
- The Nook Collective
- Flow Motion Bike Tours
- Vital Climbing Gym
- Grocery Outlet
- Brandywine Kitchen
- EAT Restaurant and Bar
- And many more!
If you are looking for a good reason to splurge on a delicious meal, here it is! Your ticket will include:
- Appetizers and a salmon dinner (vegetarian options available) prepared by local chefs
- Kombucha, tea and coffee
- Participation in our ring toss for tasty prizes
- The opportunity to join in the dessert auction (yum!!) and the silent auction
- Mingling with influential and inspiring people
- Presentations by Kali Crow (Executive Director) and Roger Schuettke (Program Manager)
