Celebrating new growth for the 2022 season.
We’ve been busy over the winter planning for our 2022 season, fighting food insecurity in Oceanside and Parksville / Qualicum.
Our newest project has come in partnership with Second Harvest. Since February, we’ve been preparing salads and sandwiches for distribution to the local Ohearts supportive shelter, as well as a few seniors complexes up Moilliet St., and some individual families around town. We’re supporting local farmers and grocery stores, and making 80+ sandwiches and over 40 salads every week for some of our food insecure neighbours. It’s been a great project for us. If you know of someone who could benefit from this program, Let us know and we’ll see if we can accommodate them.
We’re also planting seedlings every week for distribution to our local schools, agencies and neighbours, and we’ll be starting to look to our gleaning program for the summer.
