project growsProject GROWS, a non-profit educational farm located in Augusta County, will host its first-ever Celebration to benefit Project GROWS on Friday, Nov. 20 at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Downtown Staunton. 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. Auction items include a CrossFit membership, week stay at the Outer Banks, and tickets to Red Wing Roots festival among others.

Project GROWS fulfills its mission to improve the overall health of children and youth in Staunton, Waynesboro and Augusta County through food education, food production, and food distribution. Project GROWS is partially funded through a grant from the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth and several local grants including United Way, Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge, and Augusta Health.
