May 31: | 3-8 PM | HK Brewing Collective Taproom & Bar, 374 Aspen Ave, SLC. "With over 50 artists and multiple food and beverage vendors, it's bound to be a darn good time! 10% of sales are donated to local non-profits, so it's a great way to support local and shop handmade art and wares while giving back." HK's Kate Lubing fills us in on this year's nonprofit partners.

IMPACT: This year, 10% of market sales will be donated to Blue Sky Institute, a local nonprofit that organizes Dirt 2 Table (educating, encouraging, and facilitating local backyard food production through free plants) and the Og-woi People’s Orchard and Garden (a community collective providing produce to people in SLC free of charge, plus SLC’s first public orchard!).
