🗣️🎤TOWN HALL MEETING UPDATE Thank you to all who were able to make it to our Town Hall last month. We appreciate the energy, questions, and movement forward to support Farm School NYC. 💛❣️ It is clear that our community does not want FSNYC to close - neither do we. We are also clear it’s going to take a lot of work to reach a point of sustainability for our organization in the current landscape.  Many fundraising ideas were offered and will be moved along according to the capacity of our Fundraising Committee. None of these will solve our immediate needs of $500,000. However they do build up our network and energy within the community! 🗣️🎤 FUNDRAISING CALLS TO ACTION If you feel called to help out we have a few suggestions that truly go a long way in this fight for perseverance * Donate or Share our Fundraiser, “Fortifying Our Roots for a Regenerative Future” * Highlight our Impacts page, on our site * Become or Recruit a Monthly Donor * Fortifying Our Roots for a Regenerative Future * Connect fundraising@farmschoolnyc.org to major donors! * Reach out to fundraising@farmschoolnyc.org for organizing a fundraiser and joining the working group. 🗣️🎤 General Supportive Actions - We’d love support here too!!  * Join the Alumni Network Committee by emailing alumni@farmschoolnyc.org with your skills and/or offerings! * Read and Share our Listening Project Report on Urban Agriculture * Register for and Share our Fall Programs * Follow us on instagram! @farmschool_nyc *Please uplift all posts by reposting, sharing on instagram stories, tagging us in fundraising or programs or policy related posts!
