Happy Holidays!
Thanks everybody to a healthy, delicious, and fun semester. CoreFoods will be shutting down soon for the holiday break, but we'll see you in 2010, when we'll kick off the semester with a very exciting movie screening of BIG RIVER in conjunction with CUFSP. We'll also be sending out a call for board applications! More details to come. In the mean time, have a wonderful and safe break!

Come join us for our second potluck of the year and a movie night to watch FOOD INC., an independent movie that does some heavy detective work to find out what really happens to the food we eat. The movie features the truth about the chicken and beef industries as well as farming and agriculture in general. This event is absolutely free!



First Potluck of the Year!

Come join us for a free and delicious dinner. We will be serving an array of delicious and homemade dishes, including couscous with brussel sprouts, tossed salad, fresh vegetables, spanakopita, vegan cupcakes, and more. Feel free to bring a dish of your own. Also, please bring your own cup, plate, and utensils so that we can limit our trash.
