Good Food Box
We have become an established Good Food Box depot and are on the map! The Good Food Box program is a hand-up program that is affordable. Through Budget 2025, Alberta’s Government would invest $5 million to help put food on tables across the province. Community Kitchen Program of Calgary, which is the lead on the Good Food Box program is a great example of how to do exactly that. They help individuals and families eat healthier at a lower cost.
We are well under way with many residents taking advantage of fresh produce and fruit at a reduced cost. We’ve had 37 orders to date. Next order dates: October 9 to 12 with pick up on October 23, 3:00 to 6:00 pm. https://northhavenyyc.ca/commfood-goodfoodbox.
Fresh Produce Thursdays
Donations continue to come on Thursdays with great variety. A big shout out to those donating food from their gardens and another shout out to the volunteers of the Community Garden making sure produce is also available on Thursdays. The list of fresh vegetables and herbs expands. Keep the donations coming and please take advantage of the produce on Thursdays from 3:00 to 3:30 pm. Vegetables available have been beans, beets, lettuce, Swiss chard, carrots, and herbs.
Calgary Food Bank Donations
With activities underway, please remember to bring a non-perishable food item to the event and we will ensure it is donated to the Calgary Food Bank. Thank you for supporting such a worthy cause.
