Join us for a fun and impactful event as we rally our community to tackle food insecurity! In partnership with Fouts Farm, we’ve gathered an incredible lineup of local leaders as our 2025 Calf Kissing Team. These community champions have pledged to kiss a calf live if we reach our fundraising goal of $5,000 by February 14th.

Your donations will directly support Seven Valleys Health Coalition’s mission to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food and the resources they need. Together, we can make a difference!

• Fundraising Goal: $5,000

• Donation Period: Now through February 14, 2025

• Live Calf Kissing Celebration: February 14th at 11:00 AM (Streaming Online)
