🌱 Celebrate a Milestone

The Tri-Cities Food Foundation has officially received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, and we’re inviting our community to celebrate this exciting milestone at Lettuce Grow Together.

This event marks more than a celebration—it’s the next step in growing a stronger, healthier local food system for everyone.

🥬 Why It Matters

The Foundation was created to provide long-term opportunities for growth and sustainability for the Tri-Cities Food Co-Op, its members, and the wider community.

Located in a food desert, the Co-Op has already opened its doors through a phased approach, helping bring fresh food access to an area that needs it most. Now we’re working to help transform it into a full-fledged grocery store that can fully serve our community.

🍎 What Your Support Helps Grow

Your support helps us:

✔ Expand healthy food access
✔ Provide food education and outreach
✔ Support growers transitioning to fully organic practices
✔ Strengthen the long-term sustainability of the Co-Op
✔ Invest in a lasting community resource

Funds raised through the Foundation remain dedicated to supporting the Tri-Cities Food Co-Op in perpetuity.

🥂 Join the Celebration

When you arrive, enjoy light bites and beverages as the festivities begin. Then mingle with fellow food lovers, community builders, and neighbors who believe good food and strong communities grow best together.

Our silent auction opens Wednesday, giving you several days to browse, bid, and share the excitement before the event.

We’ll feature fun and unique items and packages, with final bidding taking place during the celebration on Saturday evening.

🎉 Bid early

All while helping grow a lasting community resource.

🎯 Help Us Reach Our Goal

We’re working toward our $10,000 fundraising goal, and every gift helps plant the seeds for what comes next.

Whether you attend, bid, donate, or share this campaign, your support makes a difference.

🌻 Can’t Attend? You Can Still Grow Something Meaningful.

You can still make an impact. Donate online at any level and bid on silent auction items starting Wednesday—you do not need to attend the event to participate or win.

Whether you give $25 to plant a seed, $100 to grow the mission, $1,000 to cultivate the future, or any amount that feels right, every contribution helps expand healthy food access and strengthen a lasting community resource.

If you’re able to join us in person, we’d truly love to celebrate with you as we gather in support of a stronger, healthier community.

Together, we can grow access, opportunity, and community.
