Lennon Adkins was hired in the summer of 2020 to help with the development, maintenance, and harvest of this years Community Garden. He has been hard at work alongside Peter and Renske, who have graciously dedicated a piece of their land for the establishment of this garden. Our Community Garden continues to be an incredible resource, providing fresh, organic produce that goes straight to our residents. There has already been roughly 500 lbs of  food harvested and distributed to local residents and we are only half way through the season. Not only has the Community Garden contributed to our mission for increasing food security but also provides educational and employment opportunities to our local youth.  Peter and Renske could not be better mentors and Lennon has proven to be an incredible young man, a very hard worker, and a wonderful student to work with.

This summer student position is funded by Service Canada through the Canada Summer Jobs program.

Thank You Food Banks CanadaThank You Food Banks Canada

In March, 2025 we received $15,000 from Food Banks Canada through the Emergency Food Action grant. With a 20% increase in Cherryville households in need of monthly hampers since 2022, our capacity to support the consistent demand has been difficult. This past January-March were particularly difficult months as we had significantly less food donations available over these months and our hamper quantity and quality were compromised. When our Food Bank Floor Manager was asked why there was such a decrease in available food donations over these months, he thoughtfully pondered the impact of the imposing tariffs on our food systems. Despite the unsettling economic and political climate this past year, we were incredibly blessed to be a recipient of the Emergency Food Action grant. Due to these funds to purchase food, we were able to replenish our much needed staple items including healthy perishable items from March-June which directly benefited our local families and households in need.

THANK YOU
