Giving Tuesday - A Time To Give Back

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us, we are about to open the giving season with #GivingTuesday. A time where we can give back to the causes that are closest to our hearts. 

For less than the cost of an apple per day, you can support children in Nova Scotia to eat, enjoy and value food that fuels healthier people and a healthier environment with a monthly pledge to Nourish Nova Scotia. 

Our goal is to add 5 monthly donors to the Nourish giving family. 

By becoming a monthly donor, you are helping to ensure that we are able to develop  new programs like Grow Eat Learn (school food gardens) and continue to offer our farm to school fundraising program Nourish Your Roots (NYR). Last year funds raised by NYR helped sustain school healthy eating initiatives with 70% of funds going towards breakfast programs, and the remainder to cooking classes, school food gardens and even upgrades to kitchen equipment—necessary costs to help nourish students so they are ready to learn each school day.

“Fundraisers like this is a great way to move forward a healthy eating agenda, the value of healthy eating policies in schools before, during, and after schools.“ - Parent

“Nourish does so much more than just feed kids - the impact of talking about, working with, and valuing what we eat helps children become lifelong local food proponents, forever in touch with sustainable, health and environment -conscious eating.” - Nourish supporter
