Everyone deserves to eat healthy
We’re connecting families and seniors in need in the West Kootenays with farm fresh local, organic food once a week to help ensure those people who need it most have access to healthy food. You can help.
Make a Donation
Your donation today will help our communities transition to 100% renewable energy, connect low income people to farmers and healthy local food, and keep our wild spaces pristine.
Your contribution matters. We will use it wisely to stand up for West Kootenay communities.
