DELTA, CANADA - For 13 years, WINDSET FARMS® has partnered with CityReach Care Society. Contributing weekly shipments of fresh, greenhouse-grown produce, WINDSET has evolved its once modest contributions into a foundational partnership for CityReach's Food For Families program.
"It is incredible to work with CityReach these past 13 years. Their extraordinary commitment to bringing fresh, healthy, and nutritious food to families in need is very admirable. We are so proud to be able to provide donations every week, 52 weeks of the year, to support their food security programs,” shared Randi Church, Marketing Manager.
CityReach saw remarkable milestones this year, surpassing 10 million in food distribution to the Greater Vancouver communities since 2020.
Cheryl McManus, Associate Director of CityReach, emphasized in a quote shared by the company “that Windset Farms is not just a donor but a crucial partner in [its] Food for Families program."
The initiative rescues surplus food, including donations from businesses like WINDSET FARMS. Recipients are supplied with a weekly 25 lb hamper of produce, dairy, bread, and protein to 3,000 people. Fresh produce constitutes a significant portion of the hampers, providing families with nutritious, healthy food to support physical and mental well-being.
Over the years, WINDSET has provided over $1 million worth of fresh produce to communities. This holiday season, the greenhouse grower has also donated $2,000 to Boxes of Love, a Christmas Hamper program offering fresh food and holiday gifts to spread joy in the community.
Happy holidays from all of us here at AndNowKnow to our extensive produce family!
