Hi !

Today is officially Giving Tuesday, but on Galora every day is about giving.

In the last year, thousands of Galora members have shared garden-fresh foods, baked goods, and made new friends. Not only are these exchanges fun and delicious, they are laying the foundation for a better future. 

Today is an opportunity for us to ask ourselves what we believe in and what kind of world we want to create.

If you are motivated to eat locally, reduce your environmental impact, and to strengthen relationships among neighbors, then we are building Galora for you.

What we believe:

Galora dreams of a future where everyone has access to fresh, affordable, and locally produced food.

We see a world where excess homegrown food is not thrown away, but instead it can be found at the push of a button.

We believe that it should be normal and easy to share local bounty, to eat healthier, and to support each other - for the health of our communities, children, and the planet. 

We exist only because you said that you are looking for something better. 

The Galora team is only two people, me and Chris, committed to making a site that we can all be proud of.  We don't have big investors, but we set up the Galora Founders Club to give those members that are able, the opportunity to support us with only a few bucks each month. 

We are inspired by the spirit of this community - we see beauty and goodness every day - in your stories of sharing, trading, meeting and helping neighbors.  We invite you to join hands with us, as we continue this exhilarating work together! 

We will show our thanks by continuing to strive, and with a few cute thank you gifts.

Take your place at the founders table, and be a part of building a hopeful, community-based future.

With profound gratitude for showing us this path.

Ryan & Chris, Galora founders.
