Description

Join DFR's Fresh Food Connect community to learn, grow, and join forces to help feed our communities & practice food sovereignty Denver Food Rescue's mission is to produce health equity WITH Denver neighborhoods. We do this by supporting community led free food distributions called No Cost Grocery Programs (NCGPs). In addition to fresh foods donated by commercial resources we also utilize donated produce from local gardeners with the Fresh Food Connect app and that's what this gathering is all about! We are inviting all of our current gardeners (about 200 folks!) to this event plus any gardeners that live in 80203, 80204, 80205, 80206, 80207, 80209, 80210, & 80220 that might want to learn more and become a FFC gardener for DFR programs. No amount of harvest is too little to donate, it all adds up! We will gather with food and drinks, (fresh fruit juice snow cones anyone?) all ages friendly garden activities, plus a performance from Denver poet Franklin Cruz. We will also hear from local garden experts, our NCGP leaders, and you can meet our 4 youth couriers that will be picking up your donations all summer long. First 50 folks to arrive will get a very special DFR garden tool. All current gardeners and future gardeners will revive a small yard sign to help us spread the word!
