Cloudview Farms to host fundraising fun run
Organizers hope to promote understanding of farming and food
EPHRATA – Cloudview Farms in Ephrata will be hosting a fun run on Sept. 17, serving as a fundraiser for the non-profit farm’s community and educational programs. “What we’ve been looking for is just fun ways to bring people to the farm and for fun events, and then to fundraise as well,” Cloudview Farms Education and Community Coordinator Julie Johnston said. This is the first year that Cloudview Farms will be hosting this event, and the money will go toward programs that help people learn about food literacy, farming and more. “We are a non-profit, education farm,” Johnston said. “We have a couple programs like our Educate and Empower programs, and the money goes into supporting the programs and sometimes providing scholarships for the kids to come to Farm Camp. Then, we also have our Feed our Friends program, and we give to the food banks – the Ephrata and Soap Lake food banks.”
