Rooftop Community Garden Project

Have you heard? We’ve got an amazing urban farm on the roof of Southcentre Mall! And we need your help to keep it growing!

This spring & summer, we will once again be growing fresh vegetables, herbs & fruit, and running a beehive program in support of our Made by Momma food programs.

Together with @southcentremall and @microhabitat.ca we are repurposing unused rooftop space to create a sustainable, local solution to contribute to the increasing demand for fresh, nutritious sources of food for Calgarians in need.

Canada does not have a food shortage problem – but we do have problem getting food into the hands of those who need it most! Single mothers are among the most vulnerable to food insecurity and that challenge is increased for Indigenous and racialized families.

Families in our community need our help more than ever! In just the first six weeks of 2024, 611 families have reached out for support with basic needs during times of adversity or crisis.

A continuous supply of healthy ingredients is needed to prepare the thousands of servings of meals for these families.

And this is where you come in. With your support, the funds raised through this campaign will help ensure that we have fresh produce to use in our healthy freezer meals and hampers, which nourish families when they need it most!

We need your help to make an impact where it’s needed most! Please consider supporting this important project. Financial Sponsorship with recognition opportunities start at $1,000

Donate today and be a part of building the largest rooftop community garden in North America!

Send us an email

and let’s grow some good together!
