Foodwise’s free education programs include <a href="http://www.cuesa.org/foodwise-kids" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Foodwise Kids</a> and <a href="https://cuesa.org/foodwise-teens" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Foodwise Teens</a>, which serve more than 3,000 students and their families.</p><h3>Sliding Scale Tickets</h3><p>Foodwise aims to make our fundraising events accessible to community members on a wide range of budgets, so we are trying something new this year: sliding scale priced tickets. In San Francisco, the living wage annual income is $62,220 for an individual with no children (<a href="https://www.livingwage-sf.org/living-wage-calculator/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">read more here</a>). We are now sold out of our lower priced tickets available for guests on a tight budget, but if you make above the living wage, please consider choosing the “Pay It Forward” ticket to help Foodwise cover the costs of this event and meet our fundraising goals for our free education programs. Thank you for your support!</p><h3>H﻿ost Committee</h3><p>Andrew Freeman, Cathy Curtis, Dilan Urun, Heather Rice, Jaime Forman-Lau, Jessie Barker, Karen James, Kory Cogdill, Laurel Robinson, Leila Afshar, Leslie Gay, Marlo Cruz-Sands, Meredith Essalat, Nkechi Iheme, Righter Kunkel, Shirley-May Soong</p><p><em>This event is for guests 21 and over.
