| Today, Change Tomorrow is thrilled to present the Breaking Barriers Breakfast, a farm-to-table fundraising experience that will leave a lasting impact. This one-of-a-kind event, taking place on Thursday, March 20, 2025, from 9 AM – 12 PM at the Monet Room in Mellwood Art Center, is a morning dedicated to food justice, Black farmers, and community activation. This exclusive breakfast will highlight the incredible work of Black farmers and members of the Kentucky Black Farmers Alliance, featuring Cleav’s Family Farm and Black Roots Farm. Attendees will enjoy a thoughtfully curated meal by Chef Makeda Woods, celebrating the rich flavors and traditions of farm-fresh, locally grown food. The Breaking Barriers Breakfast will feature a keynote address by Kentucky State Senator Keturah Herron, a fierce advocate for justice and equity. Special appearances will be made by Congressman Morgan McGarvey, further solidifying the importance of policy and grassroots efforts in shaping a sustainable future. The event will also showcase a special performance by Louisville Ballet, bringing art and movement into the conversation of resilience and transformation. The goal of this breakfast is to raise $50,000 to expand and sustain the West End Farmers Market, a crucial hub for food access, local entrepreneurship, and economic mobility in our community. To amplify the impact, an anonymous donor from the UK has pledged a $25,000 matching gift, doubling the power of every contribution made. This event is made possible through the generous support of Sister Song, Heaven Hill, Farm to Fork Food, and the Sierra Club, organizations committed to social justice, sustainability, and community well-being. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available now. Whether you attend in person, donate, or spread the word, your support makes a direct impact on the fight for food justice in Louisville.

Let’s build a future where fresh, local food is a right—not a privilege. |
