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.
Deep Canvassing for Climate Solutions Playbook & Toolkit
By sharing stories of our life experiences and understanding the heart of the issues that divide us, we can overcome polarization, fear, and prejudice to find our common ground and willingness to make the positive changes that are good for all our neighbours.

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 all communities across the region.
Volunteer with Us
Volunteers play an essential role in creating clean energy communities, protecting wild spaces and promoting local food sustainability.
