About Us

Our grassroots community organization was founded by Jean Perry, Michele Heller, Kim Bast and Danah Feldman, and more recently joined by Sue Roundy, with the goal of promoting affordable access to fresh, whole, locally and sustainably grown food. 

Every community dinner requires the help of about 25 volunteers organized under the gracious tutelage of Danah, who miraculously rounds up folks to hang posters, set-up, greet, cashier, serve, bus, wash dishes, wrap silverware, break-down, and clean up. Without their energy, creativity and enthusiasm, these dinners would not be possible.

If you would like to volunteer your time, please sign up at the information table at the dinners, e-mail us, or contact Danah (#3642). Please call Jean Perry (Vortex #4740) or Kim Bast (#4452) with food contributions or menu suggestions for future dinners. For general information, call Michele at (360) 468-3618.
