TaSH 10th Season Fundraising Campaign
The TaSH is celebrating 10 years of growing with our community! In honor of this milestone, The TaSH has launched this special crowdfunding campaign to support our ongoing Education, Music and Culture, and Food Access Programs (2023 impact highlighted below), as well as the exciting new community initiatives we are launching this year. Through these initiatives, we will extend our impact beyond the market by partnering with local organizations. For example, we are working with the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns on efforts to expand access to fresh, local food and programming around sustainability for students and families.
Any donation will help The TaSH make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution in support of The TaSH, as we look ahead to the next 10 years of continued growth and community collaboration!
