Harvest Algoma is a vital resource in supporting the city’s most vulnerable
Harvest Algoma, a dynamic food resource centre in Sault Ste. Marie, prides itself on empowering lives and supporting the city’s most vulnerable.
With its mission of confronting food insecurity head-on and ensuring nutritious food reaches those who need it the most, Harvest Algoma plays a pivotal role in reducing waste and supporting our region’s food system. “For a while, we didn’t have a whole lot of public awareness. Just knowing that there are people out there recognizing the work we are doing and the importance of it is very validating,” she added. “This tells us that we’re heading in the right direction and encourages us to keep doing what we’re doing.”
In 2023, the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre’s Rural Agri-Innovation Network division took over operations of Harvest Algoma, and plans to convert the charity into a self-sustaining social enterprise over the next three years.The general public can now contribute by visiting its storefront at 446 Second Line E. and buying oven-ready frozen meals, baked goods and more. The meals come in individual and family-sized portions. Products can also be ordered online.
