Bridging the gap between food sources and knowledge about how to maximize its nutritional value, we empower you to engage food suppliers and institutions, such as corner stores, farmers markets, and grocery stores, about food sources. </p> <p> When asked what motivated Crystal to host this surprise fundraiser, she stated "...because OFC's visionary Executive Director, Jason Harvey, is one of Oakland's emerging leaders. By focusing on what we put in our bodies and our place in the ecological stew, he inspired me to ensure our lasting presence, in our efforts to change the world." </p> <p> <br /> Our agenda for the night: </p> <p> Great food by Jason A. Harvey (Chef Gramcrackah!), soulful house music, and dynamic people (including Jason) will take center stage at our music- and food-infused fundraiser. Bring your checkbook, so you can make your $20 tax-deductible donation with ease. </p> <p> Challenges to overcome within the next 10 days: </p> <p> Thus far we have 45 people committed to come. Our goal is to have a total of 100 bright and shining faces ready to party! Help us meet our end-of-year fundraiser goal! </p> <p> Can't make it? Fear not able donor!
