Cornucopia: A Fundraising Gala to Grow Cleveland's Freshest Nonprofit
Food Strong, a local nonprofit organization in NEO is holding its first fundraiser event: Cornucopia, to raise resources and awareness about our work.
Food Strong is a local 501c3 organization whose mission is to empower and strengthen communities through fresh, local foods. They currently operate a School Garden program in partnership with Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD), specifically at Glenville’s Iowa Maple and West Park’s Artemus Ward Elementary Schools. The Care-A-Van community wellness outreach initiative aims to bring vibrant arts and wellness programming to communities such as East Cleveland, Collinwood and Greater Buckeye. Both programs started in 2016 under the care of our Founder and Executive Director Sara Continenza. Food Strong is also working on a new wellness initiative called the Care Strong Project, to be launched in 2020.
