Food is a basic necessity for life, and yet we see people going hungry in our communities, chronic illnesses on the rise, and farmers struggling to earn a living. Food touches all our lives in a variety of ways, several times each day. It creates community connections, cultural understanding, and is an economic driver.
Seeds For Change along with, York Region Food Network (YRFN), Town of Markham, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Healthyork and United Way have begun collaborating to create a Food Charter for York Region. Our panel will provide a look at several aspects of our food system and participants will then provide their energy and ideas to create an improved food system that is healthy, equitable, sustainable and financially viable.

* plant and design our three NEW gardens
* teach kids to grow food and eat healthy snacks
* provide gardening and cooking workshops to people in our community
* grow the network, spread the word and sprout this food revolution!
All of our monthly donors will receive invitations to special events, advance registration for workshops and training sessions, and a quarterly update how your contribution made a difference in our community.
It is REALLY easy to donate. Just go to YRFN.CA and click the ‘donate now” button on the right.
Please make sure to indicate “Seeds For Change” in the message line.All donors will receive a charitable tax receipt from the York Region Food Network.
Please help us spread the word… Pass this on to your friends and family - because with everyone’s help, we can sprout the food revolution and really make some positive change!
