Solutions for Change – Goodie Bags & Farmboxes

A supply of Goodie bags from Redeemer by the Sea were delivered to Solutions for Change to be distributed.
 
Also – As you may or may not know, Solutions for Change has a farm! Solutions Farms provides work development training for the formerly homeless families in their program and funds the transformation of these families.
 
Pre-Covid, they sold their lettuce to local restaurants. Unfortunately, with business shut downs, they lost these accounts, and a valuable source of funding for their program. They needed to get creative, so they quickly pivoted, partnering with local fruit and vegetable farmers to come out with their own CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Box – Solutions FarmBox!
 
Solutions will deliver a FarmBox with organic fruits and vegetables straight to your front door. The box includes our 100% organic spring mix with local farm fresh veggies and fruit such as avocados, apples, oranges, tomatoes, zucchinis, spinach, strawberries etc.
 
To continue to serve those in need, they offer this CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box for purchase on their website, and 100% of the proceeds go towards solving family homeless at Solutions for Change. If you would like to purchase a box click here.
