Deepening Our Roots
It takes a village to fulfill our mission to lead, inspire and empower our community to become shomrei adamah, protectors of the earth. From planting a bee sanctuary at Bela Farm to growing and harvesting local, organic food for tzedakah, our work expemplifies and relies on the power of many to create a viable world for future generations.
As we prepare for Taking Root 2020, we are overflowing with gratitude and astounded by the kindness, generosity and talent of Toronto’s Kind Food revolutionaries.
Huge shout-outs of thanks and love to the growing group of kind food purveyors who are donating their time, energy and AMAZING food (check out the incredible menu below) to Taking Root. Some of these sponsors have been donating their food to Taking Root for 5 years and others are new to the community. They are all part of the Shoresh family and with every new connection, we are able to deepen our roots and fulfill our mission.
