We're only as healthy and happy as the communities we live in...
 The Fruit Tree Project
The "Vancouver Fruit Tree Project Society" is dedicated to harvesting and sharing neighbourhood fruit. As their "eastside depot" we provide year round storage space for picking equipment, as well as cold storage space for harvested fruit in season. In the past 12 years "VFTP" has picked more than 35, 000 pounds of fruit and redistributed it to community centres, neighbourhood houses and daycares. |
Environmental Youth Alliance
We've made our kitchen, equipment, cold storage and delivery vehicles available to this group of youthful entrepreneurs at no cost. They, in turn, produce wonderful sweet and savoury tarts and offer them for sale at various Vancouver Farmer's Markets.
