Thank You for a Great Start!
Thanks to everyone who donated their fresh produce to our clients and to those who planted a row in their gardens or on their farm just for the foodbank. We really appreciate all your help in allowing us to hand out fresh, healthy food.
Thanks to the Fresh for All Campaign, the Storehouse Foodbank received the following fresh produce this past Spring, Summer and Fall:
Apples, Pumpkins, Grapes, Pears, Strawberries, Watermelons, Beets, Garlic, Onions, Green Onions, Mushrooms, Chard, Kale, Lettuce, Carrots, Potatoes, Squash, Zuchini, Cucumbers, Radishes, Turnip, Parsnips, Cabbage, Tomotoes, Herbs, Corn on the Cob, Peppers (green, red & yellow), Peas, Beans
What is Fresh For All?
Fresh For All is an initiative supported by various organizations to help contribute much-needed fresh vegetables and fruits to food banks and meal programs within Hastings and Prince Edward counties.
The concept is simple: if you’re planting a vegetable garden next summer, simply add an extra row or two that can be shared at harvest time.
