UPDATE: Thank you all for your support! Together we raised $5,795 on Giving Tuesday, before the match from Facebook! Stay tuned to learn how we put your generous contributions to work for our Incubator Farmers.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at The Patterson School Foundation! We are so grateful to all of our supporters, volunteers, and donors who make it possible for us to carry out our mission. We are firm believers in the reality of “No Farms = No Food!” That’s why we have developed an incubator farm program to enable new and aspiring farmers to get a leg up in starting or expanding their farm business while living and growing on our campus.
On #GivingTuesday November 27th, all donations made to our project through Facebook will be matched 100%! We need your help to raise money to complete a kitchen renovation for our incubator farmers-in-residence. We have set a goal of $1,500 which means even if only 500 of you donate $3 tomorrow, Tuesday Nov. 27th, we will reach our goal! Remember, every penny counts, twice! Please consider supporting the Patterson School Foundation so we can continue to cultivate careers in farming by providing the conditions for our incubator farmers to be successful through the development of a community of growers and learners here in Caldwell County.
