This year’s WBTA Charity 2017• The Arabber Preservation Society •The Arabber Preservation Society was formed in 1994 to protect the fast disappearing tradition of food
delivery throughout stricken neighborhoods in Baltimore City by way of horse and cart vending. Baltimore is the last city in the country with this old-fashioned tradition which provides door to door food delivery
service in a massive food desert, where grocery stores and farmers markets do not exist. It is essential nutrition brought right to the residents of the city.
This year we have the opportunity to turn the city stables into a fully operational Horse Discovery Center alongside the Arabber vending service, and will be able to provide an educational resource for children and residents in the city, teaching animal
husbandry, Arabbing, and other real job-training tools.
Artists have been brought in locally to contribute to painting the space honoring past Arabbers in Maryland, and to bring a uniques esthetic to the yard.
We are looking for items which will help overhaul the stables, and provide a safe space in the city for children to learn and gain exposure to animals. Items include:
The Gretchen Moberley Jr. Achievement Benefit HackOpen to all riders (professionals, amateurs, juniors, seniors, members and non-members), to be judged 50% on the horse and 50% on the rider. All entry fees are donated to the scholarship fund. No minimum number of entries required.99. HCHSA Benefit Hack
