Help us fundraise $25,000 to purchase a new farm truck before the growing season kicks off on May 1st!
So what happened to the truck?
For those just tuning into the truck saga, the beloved Fresh Roots farm truck went missing in September 2023.
After tapping into the power of social media and community, the truck was found in Mission and officially deemed by Abbotsford Police as having been stolen. The truck was written off, and we had to say goodbye to our trusty steed who served our community faithfully for over a decade.
Not ideal, but with the support of our amazing donors (like you!), we will persevere.
Will you join us with a donation to help us purchase a new truck?Our goal is to raise $25,000 by May 1st. |  |
How can I help?
The truck is a critical link in our farming operations that connects our community and youth to food and opportunities to grow on our schoolyard farms, so we invite you to join our fundraising efforts. |
