 We're collaborating with

• Over 150 agencies and community partners across the region, bringing good food programming and fresh food to all!
• Kingston's 38 Community Gardens and 4 Community Orchards, assisting with annual reporting, grants, discounts on mulch and compost, and with establishing new gardens

 We're delivering!

• Over $1,500,000 of the freshest local, healthy produce for free to over 50 agencies and Fresh Food Market Stands serving those experiencing hunger in Kingston since we started.  That's the equivalent of over 600,000 healthy meals delivered free from surplus at grocery stores & farms and from donations from those growing extra in their gardens.
