How might this help your community?
The aim of this event is to create a space where people who have difficulty affording healthy food can access fruits and vegetables within their own community, all while building relationships with their neighbours.
This will be beneficial to the community, as it makes healthy foods more accessible, contributes to the betterment of the environment, and it allows you to form connections with your neighbours.
