I’m Growing Food Security For My Neighbours.

1 in 10 Ontarians go hungry and even more lack access to nutritious fresh food. They are neighbours and friends in communities down the road. SEEDit is one of the ways The Commonwell supports capacity, resiliency and growth in communities we call home. Join us in growing for good and sharing the harvest!

Share Your Harvest

Sharing what we grow is an important step towards improving food security at the grassroots level. Fresh and nutritious food does more than fill plates for a hungry family- it grows strong communities! Here are three ways to share.

Foodbanks

Find a foodbank in your area that accepts fresh produce. Visit Foodbanks Canada or Feed Ontario for more information.

Your Neighbours

Share some of what you grow with the folks nextdoor, that’s what good neighbours do.

A Community Group

Check with local service clubs, shelters and outreach organizations, they may be able to use fresh produce!
