SFUA, a trailblazer in addressing food insecurity and promoting nutritious food, gathers dedicated volunteers to cultivate fresh produce.

Expertly crafted by renowned area chefs, this culinary journey will be complemented by music and an array of craft beer and wine. The enchanting hilltop venue, surrounded by the natural beauty of Tanaka Farms, will create lasting memories.

SFUA eagerly anticipates honoring the generosity and support of its community, celebrating a year of donations, partnerships, and dedicated volunteerism.
