Proudest moment from 2024: Our team is proud every day to provide services to our community. It was a tremendous honour to be recognized by our government this year, and to receive $100,000 to continue our efforts.
Biggest challenge faced in the past year: The biggest challenge our team faced this year was a shortage of local produce due to natural disasters in our area. Our team expanded our network of partners to continue to support our community.
One word description: Dedicated.
Featured Project: Square Roots
Square Roots is a Community Interest Corporation that diverts seconds produce to food-insecure and economically conscious consumers. This seconds produce, while perfectly healthy, usually ends up in landfills because it doesn’t meet grocery store standards. We find community leaders, and empower them to become entrepreneurs through training to become franchise managers.
