Fresh Produce Box now available in Brampton

Leave a comment

“We’ve always had a strong demand to provide a Brampton pick-up site,” says Bill Crawford, Executive Director of EFFC. “There were many times that someone was picking-up seven, eight, nine or even ten boxes and would tell us that they were from Brampton. And Good Food Brampton is a great organization that we are really happy to partner with for this program.”

After much demand, Eden Food for Change is partnering with Good Food Brampton to provide Bramptonians with easier access to its Fresh Produce Boxes.

For more than two years the Fresh Produce Box of Eden has provided people with access to affordable fruits and vegetables with their $10 and $20 boxes that usually provide patrons with twice the value of their local grocery store. The popularity of the program was clear as orders grew from 50 boxes a week to hundreds. In order to better serve its community, Eden Food for Change (EFFC) opened up an additional five Friday pick-up sites in western Mississauga in the summer of 2015.
