1 NIGHT. 1 TABLE. 1 COLLECTIVE SHIFT. Long table dinner on June 5th! Save a seat<\/a> today!<\/p>\n

Come to\u00a0\u00a0Southlands Heritage Farm<\/a>\u00a0in South Vancouver for the 5th\u00a0instalment\u00a0of the FARMACIE long table dinner series. Chef Marika Richoz<\/a>\u00a0will be accompanying\u00a0Chef Brian Skinner<\/a>\u00a0(formerly of\u00a0The Acorn Vancouver<\/a>) in the kitchen. They will be\u00a0whipping up some delicious local fare from B.C. Farmers and Fishermen — this is a #dreamteam you do not want to miss!<\/p>\n

All proceeds from this dinner are going to\u00a0Backpack Buddies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Backpack Buddies is a unique program that addresses a very real need in the\u00a0Vancouver community while providing a tangible opportunity for kids to help other\u00a0kids.\u00a0Even though it isn\u2019t exactly comfortable to think about, a large number of\u00a0students in Vancouver\u2019s inner city schools rely heavily on free or reduced price\u00a0breakfast and lunch programs during the school week.<\/p>\n

What we often forget is\u00a0that hunger doesn\u2019t take the weekend off and many of these kids are going without\u00a0food for entire weekends. They\u00a0decided that this just wouldn\u2019t do and that\u2019s lead to\u00a0the inception of our flagship program.\u00a0Backpack Buddies engages kids that are fortunate enough to be attending\u00a0school without worrying about where their next meal is coming. They have\u00a0fundraisers, hold food drives and pack backpacks full of enough food to feed kids\u00a0for the entire weekend. Next, the backpacks are delivered to the schools and\u00a0kids that need them.\u00a0The act is equally as important as the result.\u00a0#KIDSHELPINGKIDS<\/p>\n

Today, the program provides 800 backpacks full of food to children in need. Every\u00a0month. Their\u00a0immediate goals include doubling this number in the next year and\u00a0facilitating educational programs<\/p>\n

*\u00a0The Fine Print: price includes all food, drink and optional transportation.\u00a0Please e-mail us directly if you have any dietary concerns.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
