Annual Gala

Friday, February 28, 2026
Hotel 24 South • Downtown Staunton

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Project GROWS Annual Gala—our biggest celebration and most important fundraiser of the year. More than 200 community members, local leaders, and partners come together for a night of connection, inspiration, and support for healthy food access in our region.

The Gala plays a vital role in sustaining Project GROWS’ work. Last year’s event raised over $80,000, directly supporting our mission to grow a healthy community by connecting all people to nutritious foods. Your participation helps ensure these programs continue to thrive—especially in a time of unpredictable funding.
