18th Annual Summer Harvest Gourmet Gala

Franciscan Earth Literacy Center's three areas of focus foster a sense of community and growth. The proceeds from our fundraiser will help with our Educational and Environmental Programs, Seeds of Hope Agricultural Programs and many other programs offered at Franciscan Earth Literacy Center. Seeds of Hope Farm is currently partnering with local businesses to provide microgreens and mushrooms and also provide vegetables and herbs for local restaurants. Staff are also excited to soon be working with the new Tiffin Community Kitchen of future programs. The proceeds will help us continue to improve our public spaces for people of all abilities, provide a fun and safe place to learn and grow healthy food for our community for generations to come.

The Franciscan Earth Literacy Center, commonly called FELC, is a non-profit organization that was established in 1994 designed to promote an appreciation and understanding of our relationship with the natural world, and encourage sustainable living practices. In 2004, FELC started Seeds of Hope Farm. The farm is a chemical free operation, raising vegetables, fruit, herbs and livestock products for the general public, farmer’s markets and wholesale customers in a sustainable agriculture system.
