WRCF reps tour Wingham Community Garden

On Monday, Oct. 2, representatives from the Waterloo Region Community Foundation (WRCF) toured the Wingham Community Garden and Orchard. WRCF Vice-President Lynne Short and Director of Community Impact Blessing Akpan met with Al Skelton, board member with the North Huron Community Food Share and three volunteers who look after the community garden and orchard. The Vance Fund, which is managed by the WRCF, provided $3,046 to the North Huron Community Food Share to purchase garden and orchard tools, topsoil and boards for the raised beds at the community garden. The Community Garden and Orchard has provided the North Huron Community Food Share with over 1,700 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables in 2023.
