| | | | | FRESH New London is excited to announce our 3rd Annual Garden Walk for Food Justice will take place on Saturday, September 20th!
The Garden Walk is a fundraiser where participants pay a $10 fee to walk between five different FRESH gardens, about a 2-mile trek! There will also be a shuttle available to make the event accessible to everyone. Folks can walk as an individual or join up with family, friends, colleagues or neighborhoods to walk together. We end the celebration with activities and pizza from our very own wood fired oven at the Mercer Garden. The gardens are overflowing with healthy vegetables, fruits, and flowers in September, making it fun and beautiful!
We hope that you will consider becoming a sponsor of this event at a level that feels comfortable to you. Every walker will get an informational booklet with the map and fun activities, and local sponsors will be given ad space in the booklet, will be promoted on our website, and of course are invited to come join in the festivities! Larger sponsors can also have their logo on the poster and have the option to have a table at a garden site and meet all the walkers. FRESH’s vision is a New London full of public green spaces and fresh food growing everywhere! We are committed to changing our local food system and ensuring the right of everyone to access food with dignity. Our Garden Walk is one of the ways we raise funds to do just that. Won’t you join us in this important fight for food justice? |
