The FruitSave program collected a ton of fruit and redistributed it to those in need.

A major project for 2009 and 2010 has been the Cowichan Food Charter.

We challenge you to dedicate one row of your vegetable garden for the food bank. One row can help people in your community gain access to fresh, healthy food. The local food banks need more unprocessed food, and grow a row is a great way for you to contribute.

Grow a Row has a number of objectives:

Cowichan Food Security Mapping Project

How "food secure" is the Cowichan Valley?

Kinsmen Community Garden

The Kinsmen garden is on Alderlea Street, behind Cowichan Secondary School.

For $20 a year, you can rent a garden plot, which gives a 4' X 8' plot and access to a well stocked garden shed.
