It’s almost that time of year again! In the week following Halloween, the Ottawa South Eco-Action Network will again collect carved and intact pumpkins in Ottawa South and pass them on to local farms and food centre kitchens.
In doing so, we combat food insecurity while diverting them from the City compost facility and the landfill.
We’re looking for individuals and farms to support our 2024 effort! There are lots of different roles including on-site and online tasks suitable for volunteers of all abilities and ages. Visit https://www.osean.org/
