You want to change the world?  Change what is on your plate.  

This week is ALL about your food choices, the ramifications of those choices on your body, on your community, on the environment. If you've kept tabs on the LOA world, you'll know that we are deep into the food and farming world right now. With decades of experience in 'better world' movement building, we can tell you that the food on your plate represents one of the most powerful opportunities to make all of our lives better.

The best part about conscious food consumption is that it inevitably leads to tasty and healthy choices at breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are entering into a special era where everyone is demanding better tasting food, more just food, healthier food, and more sustainable food. 

To that end, we are throwing a party this Saturday to celebrate just this. The 4th Annual SOL Food Festival is ON!  See you there?

We Need Volunteers @ SOL Food!

Starting Friday afternoon, 9/27, and all day Saturday, 9/28, we'll be needing a bunch of extra hands. Think you can sign up for one shift?

Friday help includes laying out the infrastructure at Plaza Vera Cruz Park, including on-site mapping, light build-out and more. Show up anytime after 2pm and we'll put ya to work!

On Saturday, starting at 6am, we'll need assistance with vendor load-in, parking, exhibitor set up, crowd counts, waste management, food/ice and much more. If you can lend a few hours, please sign up for a shift here. You can also email our volunteer coordinator, Persepsion, with any questions or inquiries.
