A Thousand Lunches

Join a community of volunteers and CURRENT artist Emily Marchand to assemble 1,000 lunches to benefit MEND Poverty in Pacoima. The lunch packing is followed by a picnic lunch atop an 8,000 square feet textile created out of compostable fabric and embedded with edible seeds. The afternoon concludes with an invitation to cut out a part of the textile to take home and plant in a pot or garden plot. Capacity is limited; RSVP preferred, space given on a first-come, first-served basis.
