Taste Real, Guelph and Wellington County’s award-winning regional food tourism organization, is donating $18,000 to local food access and security organizations.
There are three organizations receiving $6,000 each. The recipients are the Garden Fresh Box program, the Guelph Food Bank, and the Food Access Working Group that oversees the 25 emergency food pantries in Guelph and Wellington.
The money will go towards increasing the amount of local, seasonal food available to local clients and supporting on-going programs and services that benefit residents of Guelph and Wellington County.
The money being donated was raised from ticket sales for the 3rd annual Taste Real Field Dinner hosted by Chef Lynn Crawford.
A cheque presentation was held on Nov. 26. For more information visit guelphwellingtonlocalfood.ca
