Tiffin Asha co-founders Sheila Bommakanti and Elizabeth Golay said the $2,500 will go toward covering the cost of Non-GMO Project annual verification renewal. Their products are also vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. What started as a food cart is now a restaurant with a product line available nationwide.
“As a reporter, my job has changed a lot in the last five years, but telling readable, entertaining stories remains my goal. I believe: 1. Local news carries as much weight as national news. 2. News should be like a utility. We would complain if our drinking water was brown, our Wi-Fi was spotty, or our electricity kept going out. So, we need to know our news sources are legitimate and factual, rather than being a patchwork of friends’ opinions on social media. 3. And finally, you gets what you pays for. Also, as a volunteer, I produce and present Art Focus on KBOO radio 90.7 FM as my way of keeping visual arts coverage alive.
