Isidore’s Garden at Our Lady Queen of Peace

Join us in beautiful Isidore’s Garden, a thriving parish garden that grows fresh produce for the
OLQP Food Pantry, for an enchanting summer evening featuring live bossa nova music by
CantoSur, sparkling refreshments, and community celebration. Together, we’ll support two
powerful missions that nourish both land and lives.
WHY SPONSOR THIS EVENT?
As a sponsor of the Blooms, Bubbles, and Bossa Nova Summer Garden Party, you’ll support
two vital initiatives:
• The Catholic Garden Network, a recently launched national nonprofit based in
Northern Virginia, connects and supports gardens in Catholic settings to foster
environmental stewardship, community engagement, food justice, and the creation of
spaces for reflection, prayer, and healing.
• Our Lady Queen of Peace Food Pantry, which provides nourishing food to nearly 900
families each week, addressing urgent needs with compassion and dignity.
Here’s why your support matters:
• It’s strategic: This summer celebration will bring together community members, garden
advocates, food justice advocates, members of the Catholic community, and local
leaders. Your sponsorship will associate your business or organization with a meaningful
cause – supporting spaces that nourish both body and spirit – and showcase your
commitment to creation care, food justice, and compassion.
• It’s impactful: Your gift supports both immediate and long-term change—helping sustain
a food pantry that serves nearly 900 local families each week, while also growing a new
national network of Catholic gardens that nourish communities, promote care for
creation, and cultivate spiritual and ecological renewal.
• It’s joyful and generous: This event blends beauty, music, and mission. It’s a unique
opportunity to celebrate summer while supporting sustainable solutions to hunger and
injustice.
