The Good Food Box



It's pretty simple.

$12, 20 lbs of fresh food, once a month.

The MacBreadBin in partnership with Grace Lutheran Church and in solidarity with PEAS has brought the Good Food Box to Hamilton.

Grace Lutheran Church has been offering the service for the last two years and has recently collaborated with the BreadBin to establish a campus pick-up.

The first Tuesday of every month, volunteers pick up the produce from the Toronto Food Terminal, divide them into the pre-ordered shares, and deliver them to the MSU Office where they are available for pick-up (direct pick-up at the church also available).

To order a GFB for McMaster pick-up contact Henry at macbreadbin@msu.mcmaster.ca. For pick-up on Main Street West (a stone's throw east of the hospital) get in touch with the Grace Lutheran Church http://www.inform.hamilton.ca/details.asp?RSN=66542.

Volunteers are always needed to help sort and pack the boxes the morning of delivery.

The next GFB day is Tuesday, February 3.

Keep your eyes peeled in your box for recipes courtesy of PEAS and an invitation to PEASoup to use up your leftover produce!
