If you enjoy eating and learning about good food, and meeting new people … and who doesn’t? … Reporter Mike Lipsitz has this report on the Transition Joshua Tree Local Food Program…
Transition Joshua Tree holds its community dinner and produce giveaway on tonight starting at 6 p.m. at the Community United Methodist Church East Parkway in Joshua Tree. There is no charge but donations are welcome. The theme for this tonight’s vegetarian meal is ‘Chef’s Choice’ and will feature the favorite foods of the cooks involved in the program. Fresh produce will be given away, so bring a bag and take some vegetables home. The goal of the Joshua Tree Local Food Program is to provide fresh and local vegetables to supplement other food assistance programs and to educate the community about growing, storing and cooking fresh food. As always, this is a no waste event. Please bring your own forks, plates and cups in order to minimize impact to our local landfill. Contact [email protected] to donate or volunteer.
