How do you feel when you leave the farmers market with your haul of locally grown beets and squash in hand? Excited to be eating healthy? Grateful and accomplished? At CUESA, I work to ensure local youth have the opportunity to know how delicious healthy food can be. The discoveries they make through our education programs at the farmers market can set them on a healthy path for life. We offer these programs free of charge, and we need donations to keep them going. Today only, you have a chance to give the gift of health, twice, when you take advantage of our matching gift. Around the holidays, I know that many people and causes demand your attention. I can assure you that our youth programs are a worthwhile investment, and I've seen firsthand the difference they make. Today, you can double your impact. Your contributions will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous donor if the community collectively donates $1,000 by the end of the day. Double the number of young palates inspired by the farmers market to eat more fresh produce. Any donation, large or small, can help young people feel that sense of accomplishment for taking their health into their hands. Thank you for your generosity, and happy holidays, Julie Cummins Director of Education |
