𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐢𝐥!

We’re excited to welcome 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 as a new 𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐇 community partner!

At SIRCH, we’re always looking for ways to be responsible community members and that includes thinking about what happens to the food scraps from our Bistro and Food Security programs.

Thanks to Kristy, those scraps are now being collected through Hummingbird Hill Garden Services, Community Compost Program and given a new purpose...returning valuable nutrients back to the land instead of sending them to landfill.

Even better, this free compost pickup service is available through Kristy, to private residents too, with weekly or bi-weekly options. Contact Kristy to see if you are in her collection area.

A big thank you to Kristy and Hummingbird Hill Garden Services for helping us make a small change that can create a bigger ripple in our community.

Contact Kristy at: [email protected].

We’re already hearing from generous community members with apples to donate for SIRCH’s Applesauce Project and we are so grateful!

We know those trees are producing lots of apples right now, but we kindly ask that you hold onto them just a little longer.

📅 Apple drop-off will take place September 16–18
⏰ 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
📍 SIRCH Bistro, 49 Maple Ave., Haliburton

Last year, 540 lbs of donated apples became 1,440 servings of applesauce for our Community Kitchen, thanks to our generous community.

So keep those apples coming... just not quite yet!

We can’t wait to see what our community accomplishes together this year.

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐛𝐲𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬!

As summer comes to a close, we’re saying goodbye to a great group of summer students who brought their energy, enthusiasm and helping hands to SIRCH this season.

From the Bistro & Bakery, Community Kitchen and Thrift Warehouses to Schools Cool and Bright Starts, each of you made a difference and we’re so grateful you chose to spend your summer with us.

A few of our summer students are missing from this photo, but they’re very much part of our thank-you too!

Thank you for everything you contributed, learned and shared along the way. We wish you all the very best as you head back to school or on to whatever comes next.

Good luck...we’ll be cheering you on!
