19th Annual Summer Harvest Gourmet Gala

Educational & Environmental Programs
Your support helps us provide hands-on learning experiences for children, families, and adults. FELC offers immersive opportunities such as field trips, environmental education programs, summer camps, and interactive outdoor experiences that inspire care for the earth.

Seeds of Hope Agricultural Programs
Seeds of Hope Farm plays a vital role in promoting sustainable agriculture and supplying fresh, chemical-free produce to our community.

Community Growth & Accessibility
Proceeds from the Gala help FELC continue improving our public spaces so they can be enjoyed by people of all abilities. These funds also support expanding gardens, trails, animal care, and accessible outdoor learning environments. The Seeds of Hope team is also excited to collaborate with the new Tiffin Community Kitchen, creating future opportunities for community-based food and education programs. 

The Franciscan Earth Literacy Center inspires people of all ages to live in harmony with the Earth through education, hands-on experiences, and community engagement. Rooted in the Franciscan tradition of caring for creation, we empower individuals to make sustainable choices that nurture the environment and foster a healthier future for all.
