Lucknow Good Food Box program has new co-ordinator

The Good Food Box returns to Lucknow with a new volunteer co-ordinator, Megan Cohoon.

Her job is to act as a local contact, organize orders and work with volunteers to pack boxes on pick-up day.

“We are lucky to have such dedicated and passionate volunteer co-ordinators for each site across Bruce and Grey counties and we are very excited to have Megan join the team,” says Laura Needham, public health dietitian. “The program relies on a team including volunteer co-ordinators and packers, suppliers, order sites, and host organizations. Together, they are all committed to providing access to healthy and delicious fresh produce each month.”

Ordering a Good Food Box in Lucknow also got easier with Armstrong’s Bakery participating as an order site. Customers can now bring their order to the bakery up until the first Friday of the month. Pick-up day will remain on the second Friday of the month at the Lucknow Community Christian Reformed Church.

In respect for Remembrance Day, Friday, Nov. 11, the November Good Food Box delivery will be scheduled for November 16.

Markdale is also recruiting a new volunteer site co-ordinator. Contact Needham, if you are interested, at l.needham@publichealthgreybruce.on.ca.

There are 19 Good Food Box sites across Grey-Bruce. Visit Good Food Box for more information and locations.
