Stone Soup Festival Volunteers needed


STONE SOUP FESTIVAL
WANTS YOU!!!
Hello
!
Now, more than ever, people are aware of the issues of food security, the benefits of sharing resources, and eating ‘local’. Stone Soup celebrates the global diversity of food, the environment and its importance to the ‘culture’ of our community.

In the spirit of celebrating our global food community, Stone Soup will feature food vendors, artists, musicians, and presentations. Last year, we launched a new partnership with the Multicultural Family Centre in bringing the Fiesta de las Madres (Mothers Day Festival) to Stone Soup in celebration of the food and cultural traditions of Latin America.

This year, we’ve added a new segment to our festival – the Stone Soup Film Festival!
Last year’s festival was a success and we hope to introduce more films that emphasize the positive efforts being made to change our current food system and empower this generation to take action. Some films include:
“Guerrilla Gardening: Can you dig it?”
“What’s on your plate?”
“A thousand suns”
“Dirt” and more…

Volunteer on MAY 8Th, Saturday, and you’ll get a chance to experience 3 festivals all rolled into one!

Last year almost 30 volunteers helped to make our community event a success!
This year, you can make a difference too! Come join our volunteer family of over 60 individuals and be a special part of this festival!
