Raleigh's Alliance Medical Ministry has been providing health care to working adults without health insurance for a decade. To celebrate this milestone, the nonprofit is hosting a farm-to-table dinner at 6:30 p.m. May 4.

The evening will include a dinner prepared by chef Chad McIntyre of Market Restaurant featuring ingredients from local farms and the ministry's community garden; a cocktail hour in the garden featuring local beer and wine, plus a signature cocktail designed by the Foundation Bar folks using Asheville-based Troy and Sons Moonshine; a silent and live auction, clinic tours and live music.

Tickets to the event cost $110 each. To purchase a ticket, go to goo.gl/gj6fn.

The ministry's health clinic provides medical care "to more than 8,000 low-income adults, with 98% having an annual household income of less than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines," according to its website. The patients receive acute and chronic medical care, pharmacy services, health education, disease management and pastoral counseling. Info: alliancemedicalministry.orgalliancemedicalministry.org.

Slow Money NC is considering organizing a fundraising effort for a downtown Raleigh grocery store near Mordecai and Oakwood neighborhoods.

There will be a meeting 6-8 p.m. Monday at Market restaurant at 938 N. Blount Street in Raleigh for residents to learn how they can engage in this project as investors, supporters and consumers.

Market chef Chad McIntyre and Josh Whiton of Raleigh City Farm are interested in opening a grocery store adjacent to the restaurant's new location in a revitalized building on Franklin Street between N. Person and Blount streets. (Escazu Chocolate, Yellow Dog Bakery and a local leather artisan are planning to move to this building as well, according to the press release.)

Slow Money NC, based in Pittsboro, raises money from local people to offer affordable loans to sustainable farmers and local food business owners. In two years, they have helped loan almost $600,000.
