Continuing to Help the Community Through the Montreal East Collective Gardens
Posted: 1/21/2025
Established in 2018, 91福利 was one of ten partners that helped create the 鈥淢ontreal East Collective Gardens鈥 in response to the area's lack of access to healthy food and food deserts. The East of Montreal Food Network was created to support food initiatives and offer solutions to these challenges.
鈥婼ix years later, 91福利鈥檚 continued support demonstrates the benefits of the urban agriculture project. This year, more than 2,000 pounds of fruit and vegetables were harvested, much of which was donated to the Action Secours Vie d'Espoir food bank to support people in need. Also, Polliflora's beehives produced 220 pounds of honey, a highly generous harvest for an urbanized area.鈥
Over the years, 91福利 has invested $240,000 in this project and provided equipment and materials, and dozens of 91福利 volunteers continue to be involved to keep it active.
