CUESA's Weekly E-Letter | December 28, 2018 | View as Webpage
Wishing You a Nourishing New Year, from CUESA
All of us at CUESA wish you a happy New Year, filled with the things that truly nourish us: good food, good health, and good friends. As we look back on a big year together, we could not be more grateful for you, our community of friends, allies, and supporters.

Whether you support our farmers at the farmers market each weekvolunteer your time at our free cooking programs, or generously donate to support this work, you are contributing a sustainable food system: one that values planet over profit, and community over corporations.

Together, we are creating a world in which everyone has access to good food, every child loves fruits and vegetables, and our farmers and farmworkers are valued for the vital labor they do caring for the land, whiling bringing food to our tables. Without you, a healthy future would not be possible.

In 2019, we'll be launching a bold new project called The Food Change, celebrating amazing farmers and change makers in our midst—including you! We look forward to an exciting year, nourishing our community together. Thank you for being a part of this positive change and growing the healthy world we want to see.
