While the staff of Hope Equity may not be directly responsible for the punishing heat that swept through New York City last weekend, we can’t help but notice that it coincided with our arrival. Regardless, GOOD Magazine once again pulled off another unique event along the East River waterfront on Saturday, June 7. Local farmers, cheese makers and honey producers provided an array of delicious and eclectic food while DJs and the British band These New Puritans kept people feeling good in the stifling heat.

The sustainable development that is a way of life for the farmers in attendance fit in nicely with Hope Equity’s mission of enabling donors to provide sustainable, long-term giving to causes and organizations dedicated to ending hunger and poverty and caring for the Earth.

Everyone in the Bay Area should mark your calendars for Saturday July 19, when GOOD Magazine returns to San Francisco for a repeat of last summer’s successful Block Party. Hope Equity will once again be a part of the festivities. We’ll post more details soon, so check back in the coming weeks.
