In an effort to raise money for the Fallbrook Food Pantry, Jen Phillips planned a "Day of Gratitude" at her Gracey Lane Farm for Nov. 7. The day consisted of two events, the first one being an artisan pop up, followed by a fine art exhibit opening of "Gratitude" in the Gracey Lane Gallery that afternoon.
Phillips said, "Gracey Lane was proud to host a day of events to help raise awareness and money for food for children and their families in our local community through the Fallbrook Food Pantry.
"I wanted to do something locally to raise money for Fallbrook Food Pantry; I have done pop-ups before and (the vendors) have no place to do their shows," she added.
When it turned out to be a rainy day, three of the seven artisans used the outdoor patio and the rest were in an inside courtyard, protected by their pop-ups.
The gallery, which is open by appointment, featured a curated fine art exhibit called "Gratitude" later in the afternoon. The works of eight artists were on display.
The weather kept attendance low for both events, but ticket sales, art sales, artisan commissions and donations added up to $1,002.50 for the food pantry.
"It is a good example of how a little can go a long way when we join forces in our community; even with small businesses, we can make a difference," Phillips said.
She also said it was important for her to do something safe during COVID-19 for the food pantry.
