For those who would like to contribute, we invite you to bring a charcuterie board filled with locally sourced ingredients. Let’s share the joy of sustainable, delicious food together.

As a token of our appreciation, all participants who bring a charcuterie board will receive a Farley Center t-shirt, beanie, mug and tote!

We believe in spreading awareness about Peace, Justice & Sustainability and this trivia game day is just one of the ways we can engage and educate ourselves in a fun setting on a winter day.
