Rachel Sanders visited the Fresh Roots Urban Farm Society team at the IIl Centro Italian Cultural Centre for CBC Vancouver last week as they prepared the Summer Harvest Boxes for the Schoolyard Harvest Dinner At-Home Edition. Fresh Roots converts school yard space into food gardens and provides educational programming to youth. The team has adapted their programs, initiatives and their fundraising efforts due to COVID-19.

Rachel talked with Interim Executive Director Alexa Pitoulis and chefs-in-residence Tasha Sawyer and TJ Conwi about Fresh Roots, its Sustainable Opportunities for Youth Leadership (SOYL) program, LunchLAB and the critical funds needed to keep these important initiatives going. Read and listen to CBC’s On The Coast 👇

Fresh Roots is a local non-profit group that teaches kids about growing and cooking food — and like others, they are adjusting to the global pandemic.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with the team at Fresh Roots Urban Farm Society spreading the word about their farm-to-home version of their annual Schoolyard Harvest Dinner, their SOYL program which empowers youth, and their Make It Sow fundraising campaign.

Please consider making a donation to help them reach their goal of $45,000 🥕🧡👉 https://freshroots.ca/schoolyard-harvest-dinner-at-home-edition-donation-campaign/
