Weekly Update (September 10 - 14)

Apologies for the lack of update last week but I was on vacation last Friday!!  Never fear though, things are still moving along here at Greener Village.
Every month from September until June we provide lunch snacks for kids ages 5-14, about 700 children.  The snack packs are pretty basic - juice boxes, pudding cups/fruit cups and granola bars but we make sure everything is peanut free.  All of which needs to be portioned out and bagged up each week.

We're slowly coming to the end of the growing season but we still have tomatoes, carrots and loads of hot peppers (for some reason they did exceptionally well this year).  We love seeing the looks on the clients faces when we have produce that was literally still growing that morning for them.

Fredericton Food Rescue went out gleaning today and brought us some of their items.  The program usually gives 1/3 of the harvested items to the farmer, 1/3 to us at Greener Village and 1/3 to the volunteers.  This is generally produce remaining after the main harvest that would otherwise be wasted.

An amazing donation of bread through the NBAFB.  Normally we have day old items and similar but this is fresh 12 grain bread with a date of September 27th!  The picture doesn't do it justice as we received 960 loaves of it!!
