When we no longer have the heart of a child who seeks to be an instrument of peace and unity, we either become discouraged or want to prove ourselves. How can we nourish this child's heart? Love can only feed on love. The only way to learn how to love is to love. When the love that is sacrifice begins to grow, words, gestures and flesh itself are permeated with gift and communion." - Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, p. 193

Eighth Annual L'Arche Dinner Sponsorship Opportunities: Planting For Our Future 


The following levels will be thanked publicly and on a banner at the auction, on invitations mailed to attendees, and on our web page all year long. You will also be invited to a special tea gathering at one of our homes.


$10,000 Presenter
Presenting sponsors will receive two tables at the auction (eight guests at each) as well as a priceless piece of art from (your choice) ark-maker Robert Ross, painter Erin Kinney, or a specially made group art project done on our annual retreat to the Grunwald Guild. To be present in the lives of our core members as they are present in ours is the essence of our work.


$5,000 Master Gardener
Master Gardeners will receive one table with eight guests as well as a special piece of art from our annual retreat. Jean Vanier started L'Arche 50 years ago when he invited two men with intellectual disabilities into his home. Lives were transformed. A movement was born.


$2,500 Landscapers
Landscapers receive four tickets to the auction. Our long-term assistants are our landscapers. They make the day-to-day family life at L'Arche possible. Your contribution salutes them.


The following levels will be thanked on a banner at the auction and on our web page all year long. You will also receive a small basket of produce from our sister community in Tacoma.

$1,500 Arborists
Arborists receive a set of greeting cards and a package of candles from our Activity Center. Arborists say the largest tool you should bring into the garden is your thumbnail. Our activity center provides core members with an outlet for creativity and a meaningful contribution to L'Arche.

$1,000 Mustard Seeds
Mustard seeds will receive an actual package of mustard seeds to plant. They are tiny as seeds and yet they grow large and spread over a large terrain.

The following will be thanked on a banner at the auction and on our web page.
