Are you someone who enjoys being outside in beautiful fall weather? Or picking apples? What about volunteering for community service? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these, then I hope you will join Outpost’s Board at our Apple-To-Pie harvest event next Sunday, October 3, at the Hunger Task Force Farm and apple orchard. 

Together we will pick apples destined for the hands and kitchens of people who rely on the Hunger Task Force’s services. We'll talk about what a cooperative’s role is in supporting its community, while enjoying some apple pie and ice cream. Those who are interested can even take a tour of the farm.

Since joining the Board in 2020, I've been continually impressed with how Outpost contributes to other non-profits in the community, supports local businesses, pursues racial equity in its business and human resource decisions, and seeks to be part of and grow a thriving community. We are eager to share some stories with you, and to learn about your ideas for what Outpost's community impact might look like in the future.

Our special event is designed for people of all ages! Come, bring a friend, bring a child or two. $5 reserves your space, and all proceeds will be donated to the Hunger Task Force. Guests 12 years and younger can look forward to a fun craft project and their tickets are free.

You can learn more about the event and RSVP by September 30 at www.outpost.coop/apple-to-pie.

See you there!
