About
The Commons’ 4th Annual Gala in the Garden is back—and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Join us on Saturday, September 27th from 6–10 p.m. for a stroll through the gardens with friends, delicious food, live music, a silent auction, and learn about what The Commons has done and is planning for the upcoming year!
This year’s theme, Gather & Grow, reflects the heart of our NEW mission “to cultivate food security, self-sufficiency, and sustainability in Grant County”. We work diligently to meet both immediate needs through food distributions and volunteer coordination, while also planting seeds for long-term change resilience through skill-building opportunities in our kitchens, gardens, and youth programs.
