Elder Meals
Organic Farm-To-Table Meals
Join us in providing the Indigenous elders at the Aniwa Gathering with an exceptional culinary experience that reflects our community's love and appreciation for them.
We're thrilled to announce the stewardship of renowned chef Laura Patterson, who is donating her services and will curate a menu of high-quality, organic, and grass-fed meats alongside farm-to-table vegetables. These nourishing meals will fuel the elders' journey and honor their time and energy.
Your contribution, big or small, makes a difference. By donating, you directly impact the quality of ingredients and create a dining atmosphere that celebrates the elders' priceless contribution to the Gathering.
Let's unite in the spirit of gratitude and care. Donate today and enhance the Aniwa Gathering for our cherished elders.
