Happy #foodforthoughtfriday! 🙌

Our new hydroponic units are climate-controlled. This means that we are able to control the environmental factors that typically affect crops grown outdoors. This includes light, temperature, humidity and more! This allows us to always provide the optimal conditions for growth and to ensure that we can keep producing fresh, high quality food all year round (that’s right—even in the winter!) ☀️💧📊

Guess what we’ll be growing! 🤔🌱

Meet Megan, our Team Lead! 📍

"5n2 is an amazing organization that feels like family to me. Working with them through the years has shown me the genuine passion behind the team of volunteers and staff that work endlessly to provide meals to homeless shelters and other community members in need. Seema David, the founder, has put everything into this organization to make community members feel valued and welcome. Despite the many challenges thrown in its way, 5n2 always manages to operate and expand its programs. It’s amazing to see how far the organization has come and it's even more rewarding to see our work make a difference in the community."

"I believe that 5n2 is an essential service, as they try and help to minimize hunger in the Scarborough area. People are here volunteering their time to try and put meals on families' tables. Knowing that I can help contribute to a meaningful cause and, as a team, do our best to help minimize hunger in the Scarborough area means a lot."

Meet Jack, our Kitchen Assistant! 👨‍🍳

"During the pandemic, I would always be thinking about how the poor and homeless people get food especially now that the prices for lots of things are getting more expensive. But that's when my teacher introduced me to 5n2, a non-profit organization aimed towards making food for the people who can’t afford it. Food is something that everyone should have access to and that's what we are aiming for."

Happy #foodforthoughtfriday! 🙌

In Canada, 63% of all household food waste is food that could have been eaten. This is possibly attributable to the common misconception that food past the best before date has gone bad—it hasn’t! 🍴✨
