Like local food in Sitka? Join our board of directors

Did you enjoy the fresh local veggies at the Sitka Farmers Market this summer? Did you take one of our garden education classes this spring? Do you have an interest in getting more access to locally grown, harvested and produced food, and an interest in food security? If so, please consider joining our board of directors. We need new board members to keep offering these programs, and we'd love to have you join us. We need board members to keep things going, especially since we may be losing a couple to military relocation. If we don't find new board members, we may have to scale back our programs. For more details, please click this link. This page has links to our board job descriptions and applications. Our next meeting will be from 6-7:45 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7, at the Sitka Public Library. Feel free to check us out. Our meetings are open to the public. For more details, contact SLFN board president Charles Bingham at 623-7660 or sitkalocalfoodsnetwork@gmail.com.

2020 sponsorship program opens

The 202 Sitka Local Foods Network sponsorship program is open, and businesses and individuals are encouraged to contribute to help us keep our programs going and fulfill our mission of increasing the amount of locally harvested and produced foods in the diets of Southeast Alaskans. Your donations help us host the Sitka Farmers Market, grow food at St. Peter's Fellowship Farm, provide garden education classes in the spring, and sponsor the Sitka Food Business Innovation Contest. Food security is a tenuous thing in Sitka, and we're trying to do our part to improve our community food security. To learn more about our sponsorship program, click this link.

#GivingTuesday helps support nonprofit groups

You've heard of Black Friday, Small-Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, days after Thanksgiving dedicated to shopping. But have you heard about #GivingTuesday, which is a day set aside for people to support local nonprofit organizations during the holiday season? #GivingTuesday is Dec. 3 this year, and the Sitka Local Foods Network has a couple of fundraising pages so people can support our mission. To learn more, click this link.
