Leaven hosted our 4th Annual Winters Makers Market and Silent Auction on December 15th.

There was a great buzz of energy throughout the afternoon; seeing friends, listening to live music, having a break with a sandwich and homemade treats. And then there were the 18 artist vendors of handmade gifts and foods!

Again, we offered free tables to Youth and BIPOC artist vendors in keeping with our mission of equity and reciprocity. We so appreciate the artist vendors for sharing their creativity with the neighborhood!

NEW this year was an "Emerging Artists Zone". New artists and designers and offered limited editions. Also new this year was the Raffle and live music in the“Cafe Cheer”.

In this fundraiser, together, we play a vital role in continuing Leaven’s work in relational organizing centered in our shared values of diversity, story, justice and action. Funds raised for Leaven were over $1,700~

We soooo appreciate the Artists, Makers, Bakers, Growers and local businesses, auction and raffle donors in our vibrant neighborhood an beyond!

Special thanks to Superstars Arvella Hietala and Micah Gorans! We had over 20 volunteers who made it a day of love and cheer. So much appreciation for our collective fun loving efforts that made this community fundraiser happen!
