The Mannahelp Civic Recreation Community Garden
At Mannahelp, we’re empowering communities through food and sustainability.
Through partnerships with local businesses and organizations, Mannahelp ensures that vulnerable families, including new immigrants and marginalized communities, have access to fresh and nutritious food.
As part of our ongoing commitment to food security and sustainability, Mannahelp is launching a community garden initiative at 555 Rossland Road East in Whitby. This garden is located within the open lawn area west of the Whitby Civic Recreation Complex parking lot.
Recently approved by the Town of Whitby, this initiative will transform the site into a thriving space for growing fresh vegetables and fruits.
The garden will directly support families in need by providing locally grown produce while also fostering education on urban farming, environmental conservation, and self-sufficiency.
Through this initiative, Mannahelp aims to:
*Increase access to fresh food for the community.
*Promote environmental stewardship through sustainable gardening practices.
*Educate and engage the community in food production and urban agriculture. Create volunteer opportunities that strengthen community ties and encourage social impact.
Grow With Us – Support a Stronger, Greener Community
The MannaHelp Community Garden is more than just a place to grow food—it’s a vibrant hub for learning, healing, and connection. Designed to supplement our food distribution program, the garden also provides a welcoming space where families, youth, and volunteers can explore hands-on skills in sustainable food production. With the generous support of local partners, donors, and volunteers, we’re sowing the seeds for a healthier, more resilient community—one plot at a time.
When you secure a garden plot for just $50 per year, you’re not only reserving space to grow your own fresh food—you’re also making a lasting impact.
