Seed to Table received combined donations of $8,500 from 100 Women Who Care-Sisters members this month.
At their November 21 meeting, the women heard three informative and inspiring presentations before voting for their choice to receive their individual $100 donations. Seed to Table's founder and executive director Audrey Tehan talked about their mission to increase wellness in the Central Oregon community through providing equitable access to locally grown farm fresh produce and offering opportunities in farm-based education.
The $8,500 will be used in the farm's Feeding Families program which in 2023 brought fresh produce to 2,216 participants each week by donating $185,776 worth of fresh vegetables (46,444 pounds), distributed in collaboration with partners at community-based access points - Family Access Network, Volunteers in Medicine, Sisters School District, Kiwanis Food Bank, Wellhouse Market, Family Kitchen, Council on Aging, NeighborImpact, Circle of Friends, Deschutes Public Library, Warm Springs Community Action Team, and High Desert Food & Farm Alliance.
