Tickets are now on sale at www.farm2veteran.com/farmfreshhope, where sponsorship opportunities and additional event details are also available.
Farm 2 Veteran was born in 2020 as a previously for-profit farm transitioned into a 501c3 organization, donating 100% of its products to feeding veterans in need. Farm 2 Veteran provides a solution to veterans living in food deserts or those who may struggle to reach markets due to mobility or other challenges. Farm 2 Veteran has donated over 400,000 meals since inception, made possible by vital donations from generous supporters. All proceeds from the event will support the organization’s mission to expand partnerships with other farms across the nation to serve veterans in all fifty states.
