LUSH Valley is halfway to their sales goal for Harvest Social, and the Comox Valley-based non-profit needs the community’s support to make the event a success! Purchase your tickets online today at lushvalley.org/events.

Taking place on October 11th at the Florence Filberg Centre, Harvest Social is part harvest celebration, part community fundraiser and all about gathering in good company. This special evening promises something for everyone with a locally-sourced dinner from LUSH Valley Catering and The Farmer’s Kitchen Food Truck, live music from The Broadfork Duo, fun fair-style games, a raffle and a silent auction.

Proceeds will go directly to LUSH Valley’s food access programs, including the Good Food Box, Hot Meals and Healthy Student Meals. With food costs rising, demand for LUSH’s services growing and funding sources shrinking, community support has never been more crucial. Your night out will directly help LUSH provide healthy meals to a local senior, a Good Food Box to a family in need, or healthy school lunches to a local student!

This event is made possible thanks to the support of our generous event partners Big Wheel Burger, All in One Party Rentals and Cumberland Brewing Company, as well as the many others who have donated prizes. Thanks to their generosity, every attendee is almost guaranteed to go home with something special!

From upscale experiences and local fine dining to retail and services, prizes span every interest. Prizes include:

• Dining: Big Wheel Burger gift cards, Tidal Cafe gift cards, Mudsharks Coffee Bar gifts, Riders Pizza gift cards, Tin Town Cafe gift cards

• Experiences: Crown Isle Resort stay, Old House Hotel stay, Comox Valley Kayaks rentals, Discovery Passage Aquarium Family Pass, Saratoga Beach Golf Club passes, Smith Lake Farm sauna passes
