Today, our Program Coordinator, Vicky Struthers, had the pleasure of spending time with Heather from Fiddlehead Farms. 🌱

The two walked and toured the farm while talking about the magic of nature, the hard work behind the operation of a farm, and the passion that makes it all possible. 🌾☀️

Food for Learning is incredibly grateful to Heather for taking the time to connect, share her knowledge and experience, and for expressing interest in joining our local planning partnership committee. 🤝

Strong communities are built through connection and collaboration. We are so grateful for the farmers, growers, community partners and passionate individuals who help us imagine what is possible when we work together to support local students. 💚

Thank you, Heather, for welcoming Vicky to the farm. We are excited to see what can grow from this connection! 🌱✨ Fiddlehead Farm

Food insecurity is rising, and local students need your help this upcoming school year! 🍎

Across Hastings and Prince Edward counties, students need your support as soon as those school doors open in September. Join a Food for Learning program volunteer team, to fuel student nutrition programs and empower every child to EAT. LEARN. SUCCEED.
Without these vital programs, students lose access to essential nutrition that fosters focus, emotional regulation, and academic success.

YOU have the opportunity to change local students lives; and we hope you take it!

Want to see the impact you can make?
Watch this short video to go behind the scenes, and see what it takes to power student success! A huge thank you to A1 Plumbing, Pumps & Water Treatment "In the Community Initiative" and Lavender Lane Media for making this video possible.
