Call for Volunteers: It’s Tomato Time! “Let’s Preserve!” is a community canning event. All are welcome to join us as we prepare and preserve hundreds of pounds of donated tomatoes into tomato sauce and donate all of the finished product to the Healdsburg Food Pantry. The event is hosted by Farm to Pantry (www.farmtopantry.org) with support from the Healdsburg Soroptimists. (www.sihealdsburg.org) We'll can in two shifts on Sunday, October 13th: 9am-1pm and 12pm-4pm with hands-on guidance from a canning expert. At noon we'll take a break to share a communal potluck lunch. Please bring a bit of lunch to share and your canning stories. If you can’t attend you can still help! We are gathering new quart-sized jars and tomatoes before the event. You can drop your surplus tomatoes and/or quart canning jars off on Friday, Oct. 11th from 9am to 12pm or Saturday from 9am-4pm at the Healdsburg Food Pantry at 1505 Healdsburg Avenue. Volunteers are needed the day before the event to transport tomatoes, jars and neighbors to the Villa Annex Kitchen.
