Project Worthmore's annual summer fundraiser, this event supports our year-round work with Colorado's refugee community. Funds raised directly sustain programs and services that welcome our refugee neighbors to our state and aid them on their journey towards self-sufficiency. And because we are in the midst of the largest refugee crisis since the end of World War II, we aim to serve more families in 2017 than ever before.

This event will take place at the beautiful DeLaney Community Farm in Aurora and kick off the harvest season on the farm. Project Worthmore has entered into a joint partnership with Denver Urban Gardens to create an all-refugee training farm starting this year. Come see what we're up to and enjoy the beauty of this oasis in the city!

- Co-Presented by Project Worthmore & Denver Presbyterian Church -

IMPORTANT EVENT INFO

Parking
There is limited parking on the farm and we’ll be using that space for our various activities. There is ample free parking at the Aurora Municipal Center across the street from DeLaney (15151 E Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, CO 80012). Although the address reads as Alameda Pkwy, if you enter via the Chambers St. entrance and park in the surface lot, you will be closest to the farm. To reach the event site you will cross Chambers. Allow about 10 min to park and walk up to the farm! There will be volunteers and signage to guide you!

What To Bring

• A yoga mat (if you’re participating in morning yoga, that is)
• A water bottle (please help us cut down on the trash we produce at this event and bring a refillable water bottle - we’ll have plenty of H2O from our friends at Eldorado)
• Sunscreen/a hat/etc. (it is summer in Colorado, after all. That sun can be no joke!)
• A picnic blanket/folding chair (we’ll have some on site but feel free to bring extra if you so desire!)
