We're not just about good food and how dependent we are on it's connections to our delicate environment, we're all about the people and cultures that coexist within it. The staff, volunteers, and Board supporting Oakland Food Connection's vision believes that everyone's economic background, we should have access to the best food produced. Not only will improved access to nutritious foods best support Oaklanders in maintaining their health, it will also bind each of us together in an intricate web of interdependence focused on supporting and sustain a culturally-rich food system that meets the needs of Oakland's residents.

Once per planting season( typically around Feb, June, Sept, Dec), Oakland Food Connection hosts a food party FUN(d)raisers to celebrate the important work of OFC, and its valuable community contributions to Oakland. Here is where you can further engage our Board, volunteers, and program participants in the development of our projects as they develop. Essentially we believe that those who attend our events fundraisers, leave inspired to either further support our programs or to recreate more for their own communities. Certainly, we consider them equally as our funders. Their opinions and ideas are also incorporated into our work. Overall, everyone is encouraged to further their connections to building a stronger system for "green" community members and supporters of OFC. From teachers, friends and family to community organizers and more, we keep our community connected to wholesome food sources and valuable networks to strengthen.

Our last three fundraisers have been our most successful in three years of OFC history, successful raising over $4,000, engaging over 350 people. Our next fundraiser (October/November) will further combine the topics of hip-hop, environmental and food politics: an evening of live spoken word performances, a panel and a live performance by a special local band (soon to be announced).

Stay tuned for Our next fundraiser date.... (late October-early November!) Ha, ha haaaaaaaaa!
