...to the p.e.a.c.h. Comuntiy Farm:
...to p.e.a.c.h. in general:
Give a tax-deductaible donation to p.e.a.c.h. in the form of a check, debit, credit or green backs. Join Friends of p.e.a.c.h. If you feel strongly about our work in the community, this is a strong way to support us. Each month on the 15th we will debit your account for a small agreed upon amount. This giving is the back-bone as it keeps the monthly expenses paid so we can do our good work. As a Friend you will receive an annual receipt for your tax deductible donation on Jan 15th of each year.
Payroll giving. Many work places will match the charitable giving you do through your pay check. If you give this way through United Way or Combined Fund Drive or other programs then select us as the recipient of these funds.
Join the p.e.a.c.h. Land Bank. If you have some land that you would like to see put into production growing fresh produce as part of the p.e.a.c.h. network of Community Farms and Gardens, you can enroll in the p.e.a.c.h. Land Bank. Size doesn't matter. Any size parcel can be enrolled from a back yard to a big spread.
Donate land to the p.e.a.c.h. Farmland Trust. You can donate land, leave it in your will or give a sizable donation earmarked for this purpose.
Order groceries online or shop at Fresh Abundance. p.e.a.c.h. is the parent of Fresh Abundance. Fresh Abundance was formed to further our work by creating a market for local growers and to raise money for p.e.a.c.h. Fresh Abundance has yet to reach profitability, we are hopefully to reach this mile- stone in 2010 at which point money will begin to flow to p.e.a.c.h.
Volunteer your time.
How to commit to Nurturing better local food distribution to Everyone In The Spokane Region:
1) Grow your own food even a little bit makes a difference. Imagine if every one of our half million population grew a tomato plant. Each tomato plant could produce 100 pounds of tomatoes so that is 50,000,000 pounds of tomatoes produced-THAT'S AMAZING. Okay, so back to reality-- the idea is that if you grow some of your food you make a major contribution to your personal wallet and taste buds, but also to your community.
2) Buy from Fresh Abundance LOCAL & Organic Foods where we work with over 60 local farmers who only want to sell wholesale so won't come to the market. By purchasing through us you have the guarantee that we will bring everything local we can get our hands on to you, along with creating a fulfilling work environment for our employees and putting the money we take in back into our local economy.
3) Buy at other local markets. When you buy direct from a local farmer or product producer this gets the money directly into their pocket and you know you helped someone local whom you got to know. This exchange cuts out the middleman and keeps most of the money in our community.
Buy LOCAL, love your community, tantalize your taste buds...JOY!
