Grow Local, Give Local
Each summer, Fresh International Gardens (FIG) and St. Francis House Food Pantry collaborate for our annual Grow Local, Give Local campaign.
When you give to Grow Local, Give Local, your contribution purchases fresh produce from FIG and Grow North Farm and donates it to St. Francis House Food Pantry. This means every dollar goes twice as far, providing income for recently resettled refugees and nutritious food for families.
17th Annual Plein Air Weekend
The Plein Air Painters of Alaska will be generously hosting the 17th Annual Plein Air Weekend on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26 from 10am – 6pm at 5801 Barry Avenue in Anchorage.
This is a free, all-ages event where community members can watch artists painting live on location, visit, and shop for art in a silent auction. Proceeds from the silent auction and a split-the-pot raffle will benefit Clare House, to help provide safe shelter for moms and kids in need.
This year’s artists include Cade Bennett, Bonnie Chavis, Jim Crum, Elizabeth Funk, Ann Marie Henderson, Kurt Jacobson, Valerie Hames, Cynthia Calder Kolstad, Don Kolstad, Nikos Melambianakis, Elsbeth Monnett, Matt Peterson, Elizabeth Pohjola, Lynda Reed, Kathy Vail-Roche, Rhonda Scott, Chris Tower Zafren.
