The event will be held from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. and serves as an opportunity for the community to celebrate another exciting year connecting kids with healthy food and to support future food-access projects.

The evening will feature live music by Bourbon Barrel Congress, Nathan Moore as emcee, both a silent and live auction, and a three course meal featuring local produce from Project GROWS. This event is a great chance for people in the community to support the work of Project GROWS while having a great time eating local food,” Says Ryan Blosser, Executive Director of Project GROWS.

Tickets can be purchased in downtown Staunton at Made; By the People, For the People or Nu-Beginning Farm Store as well as online: www.eventbrite.com/e/celebration-to-benefit-project-grows-tickets-19079723968.
