In 2024 members of the Sechelt Garden Club were challenged to grow 1,000 pounds of food and raise $1,000 to support the Sunshine Coast Community Services Food Security Programs. Beds were prepared and planted next to the Sechelt Food Bank. A team of volunteers are watering on a regularly scheduled basis.
A cheque was presented to Sunshine Coast Community Services by the Sechelt Garden Club for $1,360. In addition, the club donated 786 pounds of food grown and donated by Club members and the public.
