The @TELUS commitment to #givewherewelive & to collaborate across multiple sectors has benefited many small charities like us. @_GrowingFutures would not exist without their generosity.

Huge thx to everyone who attended our AGM tonight! We talked about acceptance, diversity, poverty, community and we listened to the experiences of youth. @OttawaFoodBank @Wellington_West @JLeiper @SWCHC @13SocEnt @_GrowingFutures – at Ottawa, Ontario
A wonderful group of Harvesters! Their business relationship with @LUNCHottawa makes us so proud! 😄🌱 xitter.gq/Bayview_Yards/status/9…
We are proud of the innovative community that we serve. @_GrowingFutures is a #socialenterprise using hydroponic growing systems to grow & market fresh produce locally. It makes us smile when we see these little ones learn gardening skills @Bayview_Yards every week.
Once again, we are humbled by the amazing people that help us do what we do.
Thank you @rhok_ottawa and Hackathon team! You ROCK! 🎉🤗 xitter.gq/ParkdaleFood/status/99…
We thanked @rhok_ottawa participants for dedicating an entire weekend to creating an app for @_GrowingFutures, by making them breakfast. #BigIdeas #sharingtalents #inspiringyouth
What a pleasure it was to host some of our teacher Champions, Business Partners, Harvesters, and parents. Thank you for all your insights, efforts, and passion! ❤ xitter.gq/SocialDemoMatty/status…
