Denver Yard Harvest, a new urban farming initiative, is kicking off its cause at a fundraiser from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. tonight at Fuel Cafe. The non-profit group’s goal is to harvest surplus fruits and vegetables from residential properties throughout town and distribute them to daycare facilities, homes for the elderly and community kitchens in need of healthier food options.
There will be food and drinks provided by Fuel, whose impressive seasonal menu features produce from its own urban farm, and representatives from Denver Yard Harvest will be on hand to answer questions.
The suggested donation is $5.
