Thank you for all those who found our farmers market outreach useful and engaged with our promotion. The Auburn farmers market has officially ended for the summer but will return next year.

If you are looking to continue purchasing fresh produce and extend your dollar through the SNAP Market Match, the Tukwila and Federal Way markets run through mid-October and the Burien Farmers Market is year-round!

Please take a moment to complete our survey here to tell us about your experience with our outreach.

We are officially less than 2 weeks away from our Annual Fundraiser and it is an honor to announce our keynote speaker, Valeriana Chikoti Bandua Estes.

Valeriana is a former refugee from the country of Angola. She has served as a Human Rights Diplomat for the country of Angola in the Human Rights Committee, and is a TEDx speaker of the talk titled "Protect the Girl Child." 

She has served in a variety of leadership capacities from leading a state-wide anti-sexual violence coalition from 2018-2020, to interrupting anti-Blackness, and ending sexual violence in Black, Immigrant and Refugee communities for over 12 years.

In addition to all the roles Valeriana holds, she is also The Executive Director who currently serves with a radical team of co-conspirators at the Social Justice Fund NW in Seattle, WA.
