Need a good excuse to stop for a drink on the way home from work? Well, emPower magazine wants to give you one.
Every month, emPower hosts a Happy Hour to support a different
non-profit in the Washington DC Metro area. For July, emPower magazine,
in partnership with Washington Gardener Magazine is hosting an emPower
HAPPY HOUR at Tabaq Bistro*.
The July Non-Profit emPower HAPPY HOUR Recipient:
Washington Youth Garden
WYG's Mission: Using the garden cycle as a tool, the mission of the
Washington Youth Garden at the U.S. National Arboretum (WYG) is to
inspire children and families to engage in self-discovery, explore
relationships with food and the natural world, and contribute to the
health and well-being of their communities. The primary goals of our
programs are to: a) educate youth and families about the relationship
between food, its origins, nutrition, and health; b) connect children
(and adults) to the natural world as a place of wonder, exploration and
resource for their personal growth; c) develop interpersonal skills,
awareness of civic responsibility, and land stewardship; and d) expand
interest and public awareness of urban gardening and gardening with
children.
Attendees can give in two ways:
• By drinking (10 percent of the beverage proceeds will go to the non-profit)
• By bringing non-monetary donations (depending on the needs of the organization)
Non-monetary Donations:
Cookbooks (gently used)
