On this Thanksgiving day, we are pleased to announce that - thanks to you - we didn't just meet our fundraising goal on Gulf Coast Gives yesterday, we crushed it!

This means that the 2012-2013 season of the Suncoast Gleaning Project is now fully funded and at least 45,000 pounds of fresh, local, and organic produce that would otherwise go to waste will find its way to those who need it most.

Special thanks go out to Deborah Van Brunt, Donna Hovanec, Ward Pallotta, Peggy Cockerill, Michelle Wheat, Karen Van Lindonk, Joe Moraca, Don Blackowiak, Darryl McCullough, Patricia Arvin, Ben Hanan, Mary Jo Cammarano, Ann Key, Linda Frary, Katherine Owre, and Stu Wilson of The Wilson Conservation Trust for their financial contributions.

Because of you, it's a very happy Thanksgiving here at Transition Sarasota, and hopefully at your home as well!
