FOUND strives to reduce food waste by gathering and sharing forgotten fruits and vegetables in Halifax, NS. We source our food from local producers, farmers’ markets, and even the trees around us that otherwise wouldn’t end up on our plates. All too often, foods that are considered ‘imperfect’ are left in the field to rot, and ripe produce at farmers’ markets is thrown away due to short shelf life
As we reach the end of our 2022 season and begin looking ahead to 2023, we’re putting a call out for new Community Harvest Leaders to join our network 🍅
FOUND currently has groups operating in the HRM, the Annapolis Valley, and Bridgewater areas, but we’re always looking to expand!
If you are enthusiastic about our mission and want to lead harvests in your area, consider becoming a Community Harvest Leader, or connecting with a Community Harvest Hub in your area. Let’s get this movement province-wide!
Get in touch or visit our website to learn more: https://www.foundns.com/volunteer
FOUND is still seeking gleaning opportunities for the fall!
If you or someone you know have produce available that you cannot sell - whether it be leftover after a harvest, crops damaged in the wake of Hurricane Fiona, or simply produce with imperfections - let’s connect! FOUND volunteers will harvest that produce for free and then donate it to a local organization in need.
Contributing farmers are also eligible to receive a tax credit for the donated goods! Get in touch at [email protected] or using the link in our bio.
