In his latest blog article, “Sewing Sustainably,” Ian Kinross introduces Joanne Yano, one of the talented sewing fixers who helps make our Repair Café possible.
We’re so grateful to Ian for sharing the stories of our volunteers, and to Joanne and all our fixers for generously sharing their time and skills.

We had such a blast at the Haliburton Art & Craft Festival this past weekend! Many thanks to Laurie Jones and the Rails End Gallery for inviting SIRCH to be part of this wonderful community event. Our Lemonade and Scone booth was buzzing all 3 days.
Kudos to our incredible Bakery Team who baked 936 scones. And to the Lemonade Team who made 1,479 glasses of lemonade, plus the homemade berry syrup shots. A heartfelt thank you as well to all the wonderful volunteers, staff, and board members who served at the booth.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to buy lemonade, scones or to donate. Your support means so much to us. All proceeds of this event will go towards the free Community Kitchen meals that SIRCH distributes across Haliburton County and North Hastings through a network of partner agencies.
Every sip you took will help put a healthy, fresh meal on a neighbour's table!

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫!
One year ago, we planted just 21 tiny seedlings in one of our 15 Grow Towers. Today, that Swiss Chard is still growing strong, providing fresh, nutritious greens to support 𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐇’𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐬.
That is 365 days of growing, harvesting and making a difference from tiny little seedlings!
Please join us in celebrating this mighty little tower and the care that keeps it thriving.
Supporting food security and growing goodness...one tower at a time. 💚

With Judith and Kristina taking him under their wing, Silas has been learning new skills, building confidence, and helping create the fresh baked goods our customers enjoy. He’s excited to be part of the bakery team and from the look of these muffins, he’s already right at home!
