News & Upcoming Events

Thank you so much to Regan Norton from Amelisaburgh who from the kindness of her heart collected money from her 5 brothers and purchased groceries for the foodbank on Wednesday. Thank you for making a difference in your community.

Yesterday’s After the Bell bags contained these extra fruit and vegetables which was given to families in need. The food packs allows young people to take home food to fill the gaps when other food supports – like the school breakfast or lunch programs are not available. Food Banks Canada gave us 16weeks worth of food packs with the understanding that many kids don’t have school-based food program support during the summer. After the Bell is generously supported by fresh food sponsor Subway Canada. Lead partner Loblaw, Supporters – Kellogg Canada, Nestle, McCormick Canada and Mondelez and Sponsors CIBC, Hershey Canada, Quaker, The Global Foodbanking Network, West Rock, Sysco. Food Partners are Clover Leaf Seafoods, Dare Foods Ltd., Kellogg Canada, MadeGood Foods Canada, Mondelez International Inc., Organic Meadow, Ozery Family Bakery, Pepsi Co and Wowbutter Foods.

Week Nine. This week’s menu was a collaboration between Alchemy’s @clairem.tallarico and her George Brown Culinary School friend and classmate Chef and now GBC culinary prof @chefbar1. It’s been more than 20 years since we have been in a kitchen together. Tony’s time in #pec @visitthecounty was a gift to our project and his passion for elevating simple ingredients to an edible art form remains an inspiration. Red peppers stuffed with Risotto and smoked ham. Salad greens from our friends @thymeagaingardens. A cold corn and lime soup with sweet late season local corn. Plum and almond tarts. Rounding out dinner was a sublime baguette from Hillier’s @connell_jeff. And another heartfelt individual bag drawing from our packaging artist @connorpdmcd celebrating wine making as the 2020 Harvest gets underway. #farmersfeedusall with our thanks to @clossonchasevineyards for our kitchen space and @storehousefoodbank and @thecountyfoundation for funding #tablesettings2020. As of last night’s dinner, we have served 444 suppers since July 29th to local farm and vineyard workers. Table Settings is funded by The County Foundation we thank them for supporting this well needed program and for making a difference in our community!
