*header mural by Key Detail on the East Wall of Bloom Community Food Center

High fives all around ? To host an awesome week of parties, you need an awesome lineup of people to help. Last week, we were blessed with just that. From chefs and artists, organizers, spokespeople, tour guides, and merch sales, we had an all-star team of people pitching in to make our opening ceremonies for Bloom Community Food Center extra special. 

Thanks to all of you who brought this dream to life. Check out a beautifully long list of your names below! As we soak in the afterglow, we can\’t think of a better way to usher in this new era of food justice than with food at the table, art on the walls, and y’all by our side. Onward! *Photos by Deborah Knapp
