ABOUT SLEE:
CAGJ’s 18th Annual SLEE Dinner will take place on October 19th, at Welcome Table Church (1322 S Bayview St, Seattle WA 98144)
SLEE stands for Strengthening Local Economies Everywhere, one of CAGJ’s overarching goals, and thus it’s the name of our annual gala. SLEE is a community gathering in which we aim to raise awareness and educate about how to build healthy food systems as a community-based alternative to corporate-led globalization, make connections across sectors and issues, inspire the community to take action and ensure the long-term sustainability of CAGJ by expanding our membership, developing leadership, and raising significant funds.
There will be a silent auction! All items are donated by local food producers, businesses and CAGJ Members. All funds raised are used for CAGJ’s food justice organizing.
