Come hungry, thirsty and ready to hear some fantastic music. Admission is FREE.
Peoria rates as one of the county’s lowest in consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables in Illinois. Diets poor in produce have been linked to increased risk in diabetes, heart disease and cancers.
The Wholesome Food Fund along with the gitm Foundation’s Fresh Mobile Food Van want to change this trend, especially among our city’s most vulnerable. Both of these projects aim to increase fresh food access for families living in regions with no full grocery or have limited means to purchase locally grown foods. Far too often, these families must purchase grocery items from convenient stores that feature no produce or overpriced and of poor quality produce.
Raffle tickets are available for purchase and prizes include dinners at local Peoria restaurants. Raffle restaurants to date include: Harvest Cafe, Noir, Sugar, Publik House, Olivers, Hofbrau, Paparazzi, dinner & wine for a party of 10 at Peoria Country Club. Tickets are available online now www.believegitm.com or you can purchase at:
- Bushbaby – 1125 W Glen Ave, Peoria, Il 61614
- Peoria Brewing Company – 8012 N Hale Ave, Peoria, IL 61615
Proceeds raised will be distributed evenly between Wholesome Food Fund and gitm Foundation’s Fresh Mobile Food Van. All donations are tax deductible.
