Garden Party Thanks

What an incredible day you helped make possible! On behalf of all of us at WFUV, we'd like to extend our thanks for helping to make our Sunday, March 5, 2023 Garden Party a big success! We were thrilled to welcome friends old and new from all over the tri-state area for this special event to benefit the Astoria Food Pantry.

By working together we were able to collect enough donations to give AFP their single biggest donation day in their three year history! Thanks to generous friends like you, hundreds of bags of food and supplies were donated. As soon as the event ended, volunteers at the pantry immediately began sorting our truckload of goods, and preparing it for distribution to the hundreds of households they serve each month. Fantastic!

We would also like to thank Lily Mao of Lily Mao and the Resonators for entertaining the crowds with live music that made the sunny day even brighter. We are also grateful to the folks at BigReUse who came by to distribute free compost for all the gardeners on hand!

Also, HUGE thanks to our fabulous friends at Queens Botanical Garden for welcoming us to their beautiful grounds to share this day, together. We appreciate QBG's warm and knowledgeable staff and volunteers for providing tours, refreshments, and fun activities for all ages. Your efforts made the afternoon even more special.

And last but not least, we continue to be grateful for you! You are the best of the best, and we are so glad we could connect with you in person, along with hosts Alisa Ali, Benham Jones, Dennis Elsas, Corny O'Connell, and Janet Bardini, to celebrate your love of music, nature, and helping neighbors in need. Thank you for doing your part to make our world a better place. Supporting the music and each other, together we are WFUV.
