Rice Beans & Mixed Greens…

April 15th, 2008

A friend of mine from back in High School dropped me a note today about a fundraiser she’s come up with that I think is worth people taking notice of. Instead of trying to explain it all I’ll let you check out her website and see what’s up. Here are a couple excerpts to give you an idea of what’s going on.

From her site Rice, Beans & Mixed Greens:

Aside from the fact that I enjoy being contrary, I really support the work that Blandford Nature Center and Mixed Greens is doing to make sure that urban kids have access to local, healthy food and the local ecology…

    Thanks so much for the mention, Andy! As you wrote in your email, this would be a great fundraiser for any type of food/nutrition focused organization. I would love it if someone in Columbus would replicate it. It would give me a great excuse to come visit!
