Local Food Bank Fundraiser

I (Karla) work in the Central Okanagan School District and I'm very fortunate that part of my job is teaching kids about Food Systems, Food Security, and Food Sovereignty. At my school, we have a converted shipping container that is a hydroponic farm and we’re able to grow 300+ heads of lettuce per week as well as fresh herbs, kale, and bok choy! Students run the farm and proceeds go back into free meal programs in our school. This program is a grant through Power Full Kids Future Growers.

The Lake Country Food Bank works with local grocery stores and restaurants to reclaim food that would otherwise end up in the landfill. A group of dedicated volunteers retrieve the food then dry, preserve or freeze the food for distribution within the community and satellite communities who don’t have the facility to store large amounts of food. Kids who have access to nutritious food are happier and more able to learn but not all schools have an amazing program like ours. That’s why I’d like to offer our listeners a discount of 10% on all my patterns to raise money for the Food Bank in time for the holiday season. 
The code is;

I recommend my Home For the Holidays - A Knitter's Advent because the countdown to Christmas is right around the corner and it’s fun to put a little advent together for yourselves or a knitter friend. 

Half of every pattern sale will go to the Lake Country Food Bank in Winfield, BC & purchasers will be entered in a draw for an advent calendar put together by me on Nov 13.
