Ch4H funds will support costs associated with delivery of the food boxes to neighbourhoods, purchasing plastic packing boxes, volunteer recognition and fruit and vegetable grower consultations.
In November 2004, the Halton Fresh Food Box program started. We packed 162 boxes at St. Christopher’s Anglican Church in
Burlington
. By November 2007, we distributed 550 boxes through 22 neighbourhood drop sites across
Burlington
,
Oakville
,
Milton
,
Georgetown
and
Acton
.
We buy top quality fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers and fruit and vegetable distributors. Twice a month, volunteers pack the vegetables and fruits into green reusable boxes. The third Tuesday of the month boxes are packed at St. Christopher’s Church in
Burlington
for delivery in Burlington, Oakville and Milton. While on the fourth Tuesday of the month boxes are packed at the Georgetown Christian Fellowship Church for delivery to Acton and Georgetown neighbourhoods.
