The Sault Ste. Marie 4-H Club grew and donated a harvest of fresh fruits and vegetables to a local charity to help people who are struggling to buy food in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. This project took place between May and September 2025 and was officially announced on March 12, 2026.
Club members worked on two plots at the Emmanuel Community Garden, which is located at Emmanuel United Church. The garden was created to give residents a place to grow their own food and work together on the land.
All of the food grown during the project was given to Save Our Young Adults (SOYA). This local organisation provides food, clothing, and other resources to about 500 people every week who are dealing with homelessness and other challenges.
According to the Sault Ste. Marie 4-H Club, the project was meant to teach young people how to garden and take care of the environment. The program allowed local youth to see how their hard work could help their neighbours in a real way.
