Spring Careholder Dinner
Join us for our annual Careholder Dinner on Sunday, 20 October.
Come and celebrate another year of Food Connect Shed! We invite all careholders to reconnect with each other and mother earth through the delicious food grown locally by our fabulous farmer friends.
After enjoying post-AGM drinks, guests will be seated at long tables for a meal of delicious share plates lovingly curated by our new kitchen tenants, Hope St Cafe (a social enterprise providing work for long term unemployed people). As a special treat, the Shed is offering free tickets to our tenants to allow Careholders to connect and learn more about their enterprises.
We hope you can join us for our annual catch up to celebrate this amazing community!
