We are deeply grateful for the ongoing and generous financial support from local businesses, friends, and neighbors. We are entirely self-supporting and rely on supporters to provide a significant portion of our operating expenses for the following season. This support enables us to continue donating thousands of pounds of fresh, organic produce to people in need in Yarmouth and surrounding communities. If you would like more information about support opportunities, please contact Wendy Barmore.
YCG usually celebrates the end of the season with a Harvest Dinner fundraiser at the high school. In October of 2020, 2021, and 2022 due to COVID restrictions, we altered the usual Harvest Dinner with a Harvest Dinner at Home Celebration. We offered a take-out dinner, silent auction, and in 2020, a Paint the Garden, on-line art auction. Special thanks to our local artists, Yarmouth History Center and Artascope.
Our farm to table dinner includes our own marinara sauce and basil pesto made from the garden’s bounty. This fundraising event also includes a silent auction, raffle, children’s craft table and free pumpkins while they last. Proceeds from the Harvest Dinner and sponsors for the event also help support next year’s garden. If you would like to sponsor or donate an item to the raffle or auction, please contact Wendy Barmore.
