36,000 POUNDS OF FOOD! 🚜🥬

For 6 years, Stable Harvest Farm has helped us keep our community nourished. This summer, their donation filled our food security programs with fresh produce—from potatoes, onions, and garlic to tomatoes, kale, sweet corn, and melons.

Beyond the harvest, they foster meaningful social connections for our seniors right on the farm and run incredible educational programs that show our community where real food comes from.

Huge gratitude to the team for their unwavering commitment to our community. Thank you for sharing the harvest! 🥕

In times of hardship, community and compassion sustain us. May we continue to support one another, rebuild hope, and strengthen the bonds that carry us forward.

Every child deserves the opportunity to bloom at summer camp. 🌿

That belief is at the heart of our Veggie Voyagers Program! From digging into garden soil and exploring nature to playing, creating, and laughing together, our camp was filled with unforgettable moments.

Our favourite highlights? Hands-on field trips to VanDusen Botanical Garden and Stable Harvest Farm, where campers got to see firsthand where real food comes from! 🥕🌻

Addiction looks different at every stage of life. Often, the signs of substance abuse in older adults are overlooked or mistaken for other health changes.

To shed light on this important topic, JACS is partnering with the Jewish Seniors Alliance for a special presentation on Addiction in Older Adults.

Counsellors from Coastal Health's Older Adults Mental Health and Substance Use program will discuss the effects of substance abuse later in life and how to recognize hidden signs. JFS staff, including Alan Stamp and Tamar Stein, will share the vital programs and support systems available at JFS.

📅 When: Oct 15th | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Where: Creekside Community Centre
