It takes a huge village to create a strong local food system – from individuals to businesses to other community nonprofits and associations.

Our goal is 2500 gardens in Butte County by 2025.  The BLITZ has the potential to not only grow more food here, but to also raise awareness around ways we can be more food secure.  Your business could make a significant difference in making our hometowns, the communities you care about, safer.

WHY BE A PARTNER?

  • It compliments your existing business values

  • You will be remembered as a socially responsible company

  • It will clearly demonstrate your commitment to our community and build long term customers and brand ambassadors

  • The BLITZ provides sponsored employee volunteer opportunities and tangible and measurable CSR impact

  • We have all learned firsthand what catastrophe does to a community. You will know you made our county more food secure for the next one if we should ever have another. And if we don’t, the community building and quality of life goes up so it’s still a win win win win.

HOW WOULD YOUR BUSINESS LIKE TO PARTNER WITH US?

  • Amplify the project’s reach and create community buzz via print, TV, radio and social media

  • In kind donations for “Thank You’s” to volunteers

  • Fiscal Partnership – from Seeds of Change to Top Tomato, see sponsorship levels below
