The Oak Tree Project has announced the finalists for their incredible food insecurity community grant. On Tuesday, October 15th come to the Guelph Farmer’s Market to hear from the five community organization finalists about how they are addressing food insecurity in our community.
Our community is facing a food insecurity crisis. Oak Tree 9 will help educate, support, and raise awareness about the amazing work Guelph/Wellington charities do to help people in our community access the nutritious food they need to thrive. Guided by a panel of expert community judges who understand the social, economic and logistical challenges involved, we are inviting local charities to submit applications for our $20,000 grand prize. The money can be used to expand or create programming that will get healthy and nutritious food to those who need it.
The finalists are:
Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington: Keep Kids Fed
The SEED: Sliding Scale Groceries Addressing Food Insecurity
Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition: Community FEWD (Food Equity with Dignity)
Hope House Guelph: Hope House Food Markets
Centre Wellington Community Foundation: Feed More Centre Wellington
