🌱 Planting Seeds of Hope to Address World Hunger 🌎

Cambridge Street United Church is excited to be partnering with local supporters on a new growing project in support of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and its work to help end world hunger. Ten acres of soybeans have been planted near Oakwood on farmland generously donated by the Bruce VandenBerg family, with support from local agricultural suppliers who donated the seed and land preparation.

When the soybeans are harvested in October, the proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Our hope is to raise approximately $5,000 — and, with Global Affairs Canada matching eligible funds by up to four-to-one, our local efforts can have an even greater impact around the world. 🌱❤️

A big thank-you to everyone who has helped make this project possible, including Phil VandenBerg, a Volunteer Ambassador for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, and our local farming partners. We look forward to seeing what this little field of soybeans can grow into! Learn more about the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and its work at www.foodgrainsbank.ca
