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.
