Planting Happiness Reducing Hunger
Hamilton Victory Gardens is a not-for-profit team of community volunteers dedicated to alleviating hunger and food insecurity in Hamilton Ontario and local communities by using urban agriculture to provide fresh produce to local food banks and meal programs. Hamilton Victory Gardens transforms empty city lots into places of community, education and growth.
ANNOUCEMENT
Hamilton Sustainable Victory Gardens Inc. are closing our doors after 13 years of serving Hamilton.
The Board of Directors of Hamilton Sustainable Victory Gardens Inc. have passed a motion for the dissolution of the organization effective December 31st, 2024.
After careful consideration over the past year, we concluded that due to the unsuccessful search for a new Chairperson, and loss of valuable green space to new development, we no longer see a pathway forward.
“Our partner garden coordinators at Indwell, Compass and The General Hospital are encouraged to join Neighbour to Neighbour’s Hamilton Community Garden Networking program to receive support through the transition from HVG sponsorship to running independently.”
We thank all the participants and partners that have contributed to our mission of reducing food insecurity since 2011.
Regards,
Mark Tennant
Chairperson
Donations Request
Hamilton Victory Gardens Needs Your Help! The COVID-19 pandemic has created many challenges throughout the 2020 season and into the 2021 season, consequently causing the permanent closure of one of our largest gardens and the temporary closure of our Macassa Lodge Garden site. Creating engaging, beautiful and accessible green space, growing healthy produce and reducing food insecurity are of the utmost importance to us. Despite the obstacles we have experienced last season, we are not giving up! We are seeking donations to help us enhance our existing gardens so that we can continue to grow and harvest an abundance of fresh, healthy produce and continue to reduce food insecurity in Hamilton. Any amount of donation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us to plant happiness and reduce hunger!
We are currently running a campaign to assist us with achieving our goal of decreasing food insecurities for as long as we can in the 2021 growing season and beyond.
“Hunger is not an issue of charity. It is an issue of justice.”
