Edible Hero!

So I got some great news yesterday, which I really needed in the middle of this nasty flu like thing I've been fighting since Saturday. SoFAB has been named an Edible Hero by Edible Memphis Magazine readers. Edible Communities, which links all Edible Magazines, decided to organize an Edible Heroes contest. There were several catagories and SoFAB was nominated under Favorite Non-Profit featured in the magazine. Anyone in Memphis could vote. What makes this so affirming is WE AREN'T EVEN LOCATED IN MEMPHIS, and yet, the Memphis community sees that the work we are doing benefits and represents them. I guess the time I spent in Memphis had a bigger impact than I had imagined. We are so grateful to be ackowledged for our work and hope to continue to be a favorite non-profit (and hero!) in Memphis and beyond.
