A huge THANK YOU to Brooks Farms for their incredibly generous donation of fresh asparagus!!
Because of this amazing gift, we’ve been able to share fresh, nutritious produce throughout our community and get cooking in the kitchen too! From hearty asparagus soup to delicious quiche, this harvest is making its way into our meal programs and onto plates where it’s truly appreciated.
