My friends and family have been asking me what I want for my birthday this New Year’s Eve.  I’d been seeing everyone’s gratitude posts throughout December and just coming off a fabulous work trip to Istanbul, winning two round trip tickets to Dubai at my work Christmas Party, I just am in a place of gratitude myself and not wanting for anything, actually in a place of wanting to give back to my community.

So this year, I am asking friends and family to donate to Austin’s Sustainable Food Center in lieu of giving me a gift.  The Sustainable Food Center here in Austin “creates opportunities for individuals to make healthy food choices and to participate in a vibrant local food system. Through organic food gardening, relationships with area farmers, interactive cooking classes and nutrition education, children and adults have increased access to locally grown food and are empowered to improve the long-term health of Central Texans and our environment.”

I would be honored by any donations for my birthday in supporting such a great organization in Austin!

Here is the Sustainable Food Center’s giving page:

Thank you in advance for your gifts and for helping to support Austin’s Sustainable Food Center!
