Spring Fundraising Raffle

Announcing our Spring Fundraising Raffle! The Early Bird draw is on Thursday March 20 at 1 pm, with a choice of either one whole hog (about 200 pounds of pork) from Berryman Farms, or choose the $1000 cash equivalent prize.

The Grand Prize draw will take place May 3rd at 1:00 pm at the Mac Community Garden, with a prize of a freezer full of beef (1/4 beef from Berryman Farms) or the cash equivalent of $2300.

Tickets are $50 each and we’re only printing 400 of them, so odds are pretty excellent.

We’re raising money to help increase our impact on local food security, by doubling the amount of seedlings on offer to our neighbours from 2000 last year to 4000 this year. We want to double the amount of gleaned fruit from 2500 lbs to 5000 lbs. And we want to double the amount of grown produce from 1000 units to 2000 units. Help support our efforts for local food security and third spaces today.

You can also etransfer $50 to pqbfruit@gmail.com for your ticket. Please call 250-240-3564 if you have any problems navigating these payment options.
