| Final Stretch! 1 Day Left to Support Back to School, Back to the Farmers Market & Have Your Gift MATCHED |
|
Greetings!
Do you remember the pride you felt working your first job? For high school student Jon, that sense of accomplishment has come while selling produce this summer at CUESA's Ferry Plaza Farmers Market as a Foodwise Teens Fellow: “I felt most proud whenever the customers in the farmers market were happy when they got produce from our stand,” says Jon, shown above (left) with farmer Juan-Carlos Gonzales from Green Thumb Organics. “I also felt good when I felt like I was doing a good job and was being helpful. Participating in the fellowship helped me feel empowered to make a change in the food system because I worked in the farmers market.”
You can make a change in our food system, too—and have your generosity matched—when you support programs like Foodwise Teens today! Help us invest in young people like Jon—the next generation of healthy eaters, farmers, and food change makers—by nurturing their positive experiences with fresh food and community at the farmers market.
We are in the final stretch of our August Back to School, Back to the Farmers Market fundraising push, with just 1 day to go. If you have already donated, thank you! We still need support, as we are $3,375 away from our end-of-the-month fundraising goal.
If you’ve been waiting to give, now’s the time: All donations up to $4,000 will be MATCHED through August 31 by a generous group of 3 supporters—Jennifer Brown and 2 anonymous donors. Please help us get to $15,000 so we can receive the $4,000 match and get our total to $19,000!
Every kid deserves to feel pride gaining new skills and making a difference in their community, especially in these challenging, socially distant times. CUESA’s education programs serve 2,500 SFUSD students each year, and as students return to the classroom this fall, we need your help today to keep programs like Foodwise Teens and Foodwise Kids going for kids in our community.
Whatever amount you can give will make a difference for our students—and will be MATCHED when you donate through August 31. Thank you! |
