Welcome North Coast Food Web
With its mission to cultivate healthy communities and a vibrant economy through food and agriculture, we couldn't be more proud of the NCFW and all the ways they serve our community. This important work will continue in their new location at the Astoria Food Hub at 1152 Marine Drive- come by their 'Hub Warming Party' October 14th, 5:30-7:30pm, and see them in their new digs! 🥕🥚🥬

Welcome Jambot Donuts
You had me at 'donut', but how about 100 DONUTS?? That's right, Jambot will be introducing themselves and bringing 100 donuts to this Friday's meeting which we're pretty elated about. We're even more excited that they are here in our community- never underestimate the importance of a great donut! 🍩
