Everyone deserves access to good, nourishing food. Yet, for many families, putting nutritious food on the table isn’t always easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n

At The New Farm Centre, the majority of the food grown on the farm is donated through the Farms for Change program. Together with Right To Food, we work with a network of Good Food Organizations to bring fresh, high-quality, locally grown produce to equity deserving communities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

FAMILIES RECEIVED FRESH FOOD FROM OUR FARM IN 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n

“The Farms for Change program has been a tremendous blessing to my family and me. With the rising cost of groceries, having access to fresh vegetables and nutritious food has brought us so much relief. I was especially happy to receive the chicken, which helped me prepare a wholesome meal for my family. It is comforting to know that people genuinely care about families like ours. Thank you to the New Farm Centre and BOCS for bringing hope, joy, and dignity to our tables.\u201d – Program participant<\/span><\/p>\n
