Our October Donation Station Helps Feed Families in Need

By Andrew Ha

October donation station, check! ✅

Once a month, we run our donation station tent at the Riley Park Farmers Market to collect produce and raise money to help feed Little Mountain Neighbourhood House client families in need. Today, we received $427 in financial donations, as well as small mountain of fresh food. These contributions will go directly to our Food Hub programs, helping us continue the fight for food security and food justice in the Riley Park community!

We’re extremely grateful to all the farmers, vendors, shoppers and community members for their generous support. We also extend sincere thanks to the Vancouver Farmers Market for their ongoing partnership.

We look forward to seeing you all again next month!

Here’s some of the produce we received:

🌱 12 peaches
🌱 3 spaghetti squash
🌱 6 lobster mushrooms
🌱 7 bunches of radishes
🌱 8 ears of corn
🌱 20 tomatoes
