Furniture Bank and Halifax

Halifax: An urban farm in the heart of Halifax has grown more than 450 kilograms of crisp greens, crunchy cucumbers and fresh beans for the nearby Parker Street Food and Furniture Bank, according to The Chronicle Herald. If it wasnt for this place, I dont think we d be able to have as much in the house, and its good for his little brain, Sampson added, referring to her 1 1 / 2 -year-old son in a stroller. You cant carry a can with you on the go, but you can carry the vegetables and eat them anywhere and Vegetables unfit for market are usually the only produce that make it to the food bank in north-end Halifax. But not this year. I actually tried zucchini for the first time and I ve been eating a lot of that, Shawna Sampson, 26, said at the food bank. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
