Spring is in the air! These garden plots looked so nice last summer and right now all we see is potential 😊. What we’ve been able to do through the original Sysco Foods grant and thanks to the City of Burlington, is bring fresh produce into the support offering for our clients. Families love to receive home grown, organic fresh vegetables all summer long and our own garden plots in addition to the amazing support from Grow-a-Row and Grow-to-Give allowed this to become a reality. It’s also such a great way to engage the community as well. If you are interested in sharing some of your time as a volunteer gardener please email us at garden@burlingtonfoodbank.ca and we can start scheduling time for planting, weeding, watering and eventually harvesting. We’d also like to thank the other plot owners at Maple Gardens that generously donated some of their own harvest last year to help us out. During the off-season, we purchase fresh vegetables twice a week to make sure its part of your support.

If you are in need or know of someone who could use our help PLEASE have them email us at info@burlingtonfoodbank.ca or call 905-637-2273 to make arrangements to have food dropped at their door or make arrangements to pick it up through our curb-side pickup option. If you are a resident in Burlington, we are all here to help. Don’t struggle – give us a call.
