WEFC News The next few weeks are your last chance to donate to the the Small Change Fund to support our social service workshops; these workshops are offered at subsidised rates to drop in centres and marginalized groups. Your support through this fund allows us to extend the community cannery to people living in poverty or other marginalized groups; recently donations have allowed us to do a series of workshop with Eva's Phoenix youth, a shelter that works with street-involved and at-risk youth.Market News Most of our vendors have moved inside to the fieldhouse this week, with the farmers downstairs and the prepared foods and other goodies upstairs, and still some more outside. Th No time to make dinner after work on Monday?
