Autumn Harvest Fundraiser Dinner
September 30, 2023 | 5 – 8 PM
405 Westcott Street, Syracuse
$40 per person – RSVP via Eventbrite by Sept 28
Start your celebration of all things Westcott early, by joining us for dinner the night before the Westcott Street Cultural Festival!
Join us for a sit-down, sunset dinner in the gardens of Bread and Roses Collective, featuring homegrown vegan cuisine and live music, right in the heart of the Westcott Nation.
In case of rain, the event will be held inside.
The Bread and Roses Collective House is a 501(c)3 nonprofit providing a model of cooperative living, ecological sustainability, and affordable housing in the heart of the city. We live in two beautiful houses in the Westcott neighborhood in Syracuse, NY. We grow most of our own vegetables June-October, and preserve many types of foods for the winter such as jams, ketchup, salsas, pickles, and tomatoes. Come tour our gardens and share in our bounty!
We have a strong commitment to social justice and community participation, with a number of our members involved with local community benefit organizations and initiatives. Many former members have bought houses in the neighborhood, having learned the basics of homeownership while living here. We have organized and led workshops on consensus process and democratic decision making, food preservation, composting, bike fixing, making salves and lotions, natural dyes and much more. We also host a number of traveling activists, musicians and culturally creative people passing through or staying in Syracuse. We are multi-generational, with members ranging from under 10 to 77 years old.
We are committed to keeping our monthly costs affordable for our low-income members, and continuing the upkeep on our houses to be assets to the neighborhood. In a time of rising costs, this is becoming more challenging. Your support for our efforts is greatly appreciated!
LIMITED SEATING – only 25 tickets will be sold – RSVP today!
We have a limited number of work-trade positions assisting with setup the day of the event, in exchange for discount tickets. Inquire at info@breadandrosescollective.org.
