I joined the Weavers Way Community Programs Board of Directors a year ago to support a growing and dynamic organization that provides amazing services in our beloved city and neighborhoods. I have always been interested in urban gardening, food access and more sustainable food and food systems. Over the last year, have learned about the breadth and depth of WWCP’s programming, and in the process, I was inspired to become a donor in order to further support this great work. As a nonprofit professional myself, I am keenly aware of how organizations strategize the use of much-sought-after funding. I am impressed with the way WWCP stewards the funds they are given and how far they stretch a dollar. A donation to WWCP is a smart investment that is well used.

I have also become aware of how much fun the work of WWCP can be. My wife, Heather, and our children, Ivy and Sage, were sponsors of and attended last year’s Hoedown. It was a blast! We had the opportunity to eat great food, listen to good music, interact with the WWCP community and learn more about the amazing work the organization does. I hope you will join us at this year’s event on Saturday, June 25, and join me in supporting WWCP.
