Dear Supporters and Friends,
As we bid farewell to the fruitful days of the 2023 farm season, we at Sparrow Gardens are filled with gratitude and joy. It has been an incredible journey, and we are thrilled to share the success of our fresh vegetable donations to our beloved community. To date, we have donated a total of 284 Classic share bags of vegetables to our charity partners.
Throughout the season, Sparrow Gardens has remained committed to the core values of community and compassion. Today, we are delighted to announce the culmination of our efforts in supporting our three local charities: M.I.N.D., The Salvation Army, and Feed Scarborough. These organizations play a vital role in ensuring that nutritious and fresh produce reaches those who need it most.
We are proud to report the donation of an abundance of fresh vegetables. These donations wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of our incredible customers and donors. Your trust and encouragement have fuelled our passion for making a positive impact.
