PREECEVILLE, Sask. — The Preeceville and District Ministerial Association will once again be hosting its annual veggie exchange that will see garden producers sharing extra vegetables with their fellow gardeners.
Produce can be dropped off from Sept. 22 to 24 at three separate locations.
Gardeners are being encouraged to exchange extra vegetables with others who are short of something.
The program has been running for well over 20 years and its success depends on the generosity and participation of parishioners and community-minded individuals. It stems from the Anglican Church, with the ministerial association's involvement expanding the program. There was a need for a system to be in place where gardeners or individuals could either drop off their excess garden produce and where others, if they were short something, could pick up some vegetables if required.
Produce can be dropped off at three sites: the Anglican Church in Endeavour, the Lutheran Church garage in Preeceville and the Grace United Church hall in Sturgis. During the week, drop-off times are Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The leftover produce that remains will be donated to local organizations in Preeceville and Sturgis.
