Georgian Good Food Box Mission Statement

“To optimize the health of residents of South Georgian Bay through the provision of quality, fresh fruit and vegetable boxes, and to foster awareness and encourage healthy food choices by promoting the consumption of locally-grown produce.”

Good Food Box Facts!
  • Our produce is provided at cost.
  • From time to time we fund raise to help cover overhead costs.
  • There are no paid staff members in our program.
  • Our volunteers contribute a total of 200 hours per month, over half of that on the pack day (3rd Wednesday of each month).
  • We either donate directly, or seek donors to help provide free boxes to fixed-income families who are given our contact information from their Public Health Nurse, social worker, clergy etc.
  • Our volunteer drivers deliver over 70 boxes each month to families who cannot pick up the 30 lb bags of produce.
  • We cover Clearview (Stayner, Creemore, New Lowell), Collingwood and Wasaga Beach.
  • We deliver boxes to local schools. If your school would like to sign up contact the director in your area.
  • As of 2022, our volunteers have packed 75,000+ boxes!
  • We rely heavily on our sponsors and partners in the community for services and support. See our list of partners here.
  • On April 16, 2024 we celebrated our 20th anniversary in the South Georgian Bay Region.
Our Organization

The GGFB is administered by a group of dedicated volunteers, and a volunteer Board of Directors. The Directors, who represent each of the three pack sites (Clearview, Collingwood, and Wasaga Beach) make all decisions regarding the governance of the Georgian Good Food Box Program. They also contribute to the successful daily operation of the program through a variety or roles and responsibilities, as outlined below.
