“Even when I’m not caring for my garden, I’m thinking about it. And I never miss a cooking class! Everyone in my family benefits when I learn to grow good vegetables and cook good food. At first, I was hesitant, and just not sure what I was doing. But now I just dig right in! I guess I must look like a real garden expert because other families ask for MY help! What a boost of confidence! And every time I learn a new recipe in the class, I go home and make it at least 3 times for my family. I teach my sister and nieces how to make it for their families.”
- Sara, mother of 2, food bank user and community garden enthusiast!
In communities just like yours right across Canada, your support of Food Banks Canada is helping relieve hunger today and prevent hunger tomorrow. Just as Sara’s love and care enriches her community garden plot, your gifts enrich the lives of families like Sara’s!
And today, I want you to roll up your sleeves and get your hands
dirty, so to speak. That’s because I hope to inspire you to consider what you
will contribute to the Food Banks Canada Community Garden! Let’s dig in!
Our Community Garden illustrates Food Banks Canada’s
gifts in action. Together, we help provide essential food today for men, women and
children who are hungry. And we nourish the roots of social change to help
prevent hunger tomorrow.
Your support today will make our garden grow—providing essential food
for families who are hungry and investing in vital community projects. Your
support will also enrich the soil, nourishing the roots of change in your
community and across Canada, helping prevent hunger tomorrow.
What will you
add to our Community Garden? You can pick as many symbolic items as you
wish to make your contribution today.
Yours, digging into our Community Garden,
Katharine Schmidt
