Our neighbours at the Fernwood NRG’s Good Food Box are running a holiday fundraiser and we wanted to help spread the word!  Here’s the scoop:

Hilary Mark is one of the long-time volunteers with the Good Food Box. A team of incredible volunteers works together every other week to pack Good Food Boxes and keep costs low for the program.
