Ontario votes winner: The SEED
The SEED is a non-profit food program of the Guelph Community Health Centre focused on ensuring that everyone, regardless of income, has access to fresh, healthy, and culturally-relevant food. They operate an online sliding-scale grocery store that helps people purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, frozen meals, and pantry staples at prices they can afford. Another innovation includes Fresh Food Rx, a “food-as-medicine” program that allows health professionals to prescribe fresh produce to patients experiencing chronic illness and food insecurity. The SEED also has programs dedicated to affordable wholesale food supplies, reducing food waste, an urban farm, and more.
The SEED has been named the Ontario Votes Winner of the 5th Annual Meridian Small Business Big Impact Awards.
