A local outreach group has found a novel way to bolster its food bank reserves. The AIDS Committee of Durham Region (ACDR) is teaming up with Faith United Ch
in Courtice to grow a vegetable garden. Staff and volunteers have been planting seeds, pulling weeds and watering the soil with the aim of growing peas, carrots and other healthy items.
“Faith United is supporting that by dedicating a portion of their property,” Reusch Serapio added. “It’s such a beautiful partnership and so generous of them to do that.”The produce supplements the food ACDR already receives from Volunteers are also raising tomatoes and peppers, along with basil and parsley. There is also a cantaloupe plant in the garden.
