Special Olympics Saskatchewan partners with Harvest With Heart, providing vegetables for Regina Food Bank
WATCH: Special Olympics Saskatchewan helped out with the production of potatoes for food banks in the province. At the South Zone Community Gardens Monday, Special Olympics Saskatchewan helped out with the harvesting of potatoes in an effort to support Regina's food bank. The group partnered alongside Harvest With Heart, a community group that provides various types of vegetables, which are washed and distributed to the Regina Food Bank. 'They were excited and they wanted to tell you about their gardens at home,' said Marianne Boychuk, the Harvest With Heart coordinator. 'I was telling them that now you can help your parents.' For many of the dozens of high school students that attended, it was the first time they have been part of the gardening process. 'I enjoyed being here with my class and having fun, doing this is in a team effort.' said Grade 11 student Jasper said. It's a growing committee at Harvest With Heart. Now in its fifth year of existence, they have harvested more than 10,000 pounds of food since their startup. At South Zone Community Gardens, the community is growing too. Throughout the years they've received aid from the University of Regina who have provided grants to help keep them expanding. 'Gardening is known as a good physical activity,' said Boychuk. 'You're out in the sun, so you get Vitamin D. It's a peaceful place, I sometimes just come here and I just lie in my garden and just listen to the birds.' Among the types of vegetables that Harvest With Heart provides to the food bank are potatoes, onions, squash, lettuce and carrots.
