| Greetings!
As 2023 comes to a close, what do you intend to nourish and grow in 2024?
For over 30 years, Foodwise farmers markets have been a beacon of connection, joy, and delicious, sustainable food in San Francisco. It takes dedicated people like YOU—neighbors, farmers, chefs, volunteers, staff—showing up week after week to keep our markets thriving.
Yet we can’t take farmers markets for granted. It also takes deep investment in education and food access to make sure that this market community we have built together—and love so much—will grow and endure today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
So far, 185 community members have contributed to support this long-term vision and investment in our local food system and San Francisco community, getting us within reach of our $60,000 year-end goal. If you have been meaning to give, we still need your support so we can head into the New Year strong. Will you join us now in backing farms, food access, and education in 2024?
When you donate to Foodwise:
- We ensure that climate-wise California family farms can succeed in a difficult livelihood, and talented BIPOC food makers can grow their businesses and thrive.
- We help keep fresh, local produce affordable for all, so that Bay Area families on a budget can double their CalFresh benefits at the farmers market.
- We provide free food education for thousands of SFUSD kids, nurturing them to be empowered eaters and champions for farmers markets and a healthy food system.
We can’t do this important work without you! Will you grow a sustainable, equitable, and nourishing food future with a gift today?
As we look forward to 2024, please keep this movement going and commit to a more inclusive and just Bay Area food system for everyone. Thank you for doing your part to sustain and nurture this community we all love, and have a happy New Year!
In gratitude, Your friends at Foodwise |
