Harvey, Exec. Dir.<b> <p>Donate Today</b></i> <p>Greetings friends and supporters, </p> <p> I was recently quoted in an East Bay Express article entitled, "Reading, Writing and Replanting." (article link below) It speaks to the successes and challenges of the successful garden education model pioneered by the work of the Alice Waters and the Chez Panisse Foundation, and how the efforts of organizations such as OFC are connecting important models of education to support youth development. I urge you to take a moment to read this article and to consider supporting our efforts today with a financial contribution. The youth we serve in east Oakland need our support, and we need yours today. </p> <p> http://www.eastbayexpress.com/gyrobase/reading-writing-and-replanting/Content?oid=1711990&showFullText=true </p> <p> Peas and carrots, </p> <p> Jason A. Harvey <br /> Executive Director <br /> Oakland Food Connection <p> </p></font>
