I think that a good Autumn & Winter community volunteering activity would be helping #CNIB with voice recordings of books so our #BlindCommunity can enjoy listening to more stories.

#ThrowbackThursday
A decade ago, when I was at Wheelie's Motorcycle Cafe/Bar to help raise funds for a local marginalized children's bicycle access grassroots program that my friend, Mike Harrison, created/ran. I watched his kids grow up over the years.

#GuidedTours of the #CommunityOrchard is by public donation with all funds going back into orchard needs/upkeep/stewardship. We are grassroots nonprofit.

The tour will be followed by a Welland Orchard Work Party from 1pm-3pm. If you plan to attend both, feel free to bring a lunch and enjoy a picnic in the orchard. For more information about the work party or to sign up, please visit the Gleaning Hub at gleaning.lifecyclesproject.ca

A collage showing volunteers working in a vibrant community orchard & gardens on a sunny day. One image shows a person on a ladder picking cherries from a tree laden with ripe fruit. Other volunteers are pulling weeds and tending to young trees, while another is digging with a shovel. Overall, the scenes convey a sense of collaboration and healthy food production.

All through Summer we are prepping for revival of our free community #SeedsLibrary - will update as things come together. I'm back at HQ on Monday afternoon.
Plan on a soft launch this Fall & a hard launch next Spring. We have millions of locally donated seeds to still sort, package & organize.

A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a wooden seed library organizer with multiple compartments containing seed packets. Each compartment is labeled with plant types like "Lettuce," "Herbs," and others. The seed packets are light brown and feature the "Victoria Seed Library" logo (a stylized tomato with the words). Some packets have handwritten details about the seeds' origin, variety, and harvest year. A blue measuring spoon lies on the top edge of the organizer. Some compartments also contain small, white envelopes.
