Re:Source Cleveland

Close to 600 guests joined us at Ohio City Farm on September 26 for our annual benefit. As always, the food was at the heart of the evening. 17 chefs, food and beverage vendors shared dishes from around the world and showed everyone why Cleveland's food scene is one of a kind. And our friends at Cleveland Bay Branch urban farm provided the floral wearables for the evening.

Our city is richer because of the people who bring their families, traditions, and recipes here. Celebrating them is what Re:Source Cleveland is all about.

8 of this year's vendors use the commercial kitchen at Ohio City Farm, sell their products in the Glick Farm Store, or both. You can support them year round by visiting the store at 2304 Bridge Ave. 🌿

On Sept 26th, at our annual benefit, we celebrated two people who mean so much to Re:Source Cleveland.

Congratulations to Olena Shtogryn, this year's Community West Foundation Peter Schindler Youth Leadership Award recipient. The first time Olena spoke to a room of educators, she was nervous. Afterward she told us, "I really liked this! I didn't know I would like answering their questions so much!" Today she is a student at Cleveland State University and a founding leader of the Global Inclusion Student Alliance, a community she helped build for students with refugee and immigrant backgrounds.

And the Key to Ohio City Farm went to the one and only Tom Gill. As our board chair starting in 2013, Tom helped build the foundation of this organization. He helped make our home on the Urban Community School - Cleveland, Ohiol campus a reality, where 20 scholars from the newcomer families we serve now attend school and our kids have a safe place to play and grow. Around our office, we still ask, "What would Tom do?"

Thank you, Olena and Tom. And thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us.
