Garden & Food Program Support
We provide a free daily shared snack to all children in our programs. Food security is an essential service in our community, and contributions to our snack and garden programs are a meaningful way to support children each day.
If you would like to donate healthy snack items, please reach out first so we can share our current needs and any dietary considerations.
We also have a small but expanding garden at our centre. We welcome:
Garden volunteers to help with planting, weeding, and building beds
Donations of plants and child-sized garden tools
