Every Tuesday morning during the summer season, volunteers are deployed across the MRC to collect surplus food from market gardeners. Once a fair distribution is made among partners, they coordinate the preparation and processing of the food in order to donate it to people experiencing poverty or vulnerability.<br \/>The involvement and generosity of both the farmers and volunteers are what make an initiative of this scale able to thrive throughout the region.    <\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tThe Intergenerational Garden\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Since the fall of 2020, a team of CAB volunteer gardeners lead activities with Sutton School students in the Intergenerational Garden. These intergenerational workshops combine gardening skills and sharing knowledge about sustainable food systems and the importance of using recycled materials, thanks in particular to the contribution of volunteers from the Zero Waste group. The students participate in all stages of the school&#8217;s vegetable garden and they learn about the life cycle of seeds and plants by growing their own seedlings. The younger gardeners plant a variety of vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers and they discover new flavours and foods!   <\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cabsutton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Marie-eleves.jpg\" alt=\"Marie - \u00e9l\u00e8ves\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" title=\"Marie - \u00e9l\u00e8ves\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tPartnerships and Advocacy\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>In partnership with local organizations, the CAB advocates for healthier and more resilient communities.
