The Sudbury Food Bank is pleased to announce a new partnership with reThink Green that will help increase access to fresh, locally grown produce for individuals and families experiencing food insecurity across Greater Sudbury.

Through this collaboration, surplus fruits and vegetables grown at reThink Green’s Flour Mill Community Farm will become part of the Sudbury Food Bank’s rescued food program. The partnership supports two important goals: providing nutritious food to community members in need and reducing food waste by ensuring good food is put to good use.

As demand for food bank services continues to grow, innovative partnerships like this one play a vital role in strengthening local food security. The Sudbury Food Bank is also exploring additional opportunities to expand access to fresh produce, including plans for future year-round growing initiatives and the upcoming launch of a Shared Kitchen program.

The Sudbury Food Bank would like to thank reThink Green and the Flour Mill Community Farm team for their commitment to supporting a healthier and more food-secure community.
