PREECEVILLE, Sask. — The Preeceville and District Ministerial Association held its annual veggie exchange, which saw garden producers sharing extra vegetables with their fellow gardeners.
Gardeners were encouraged to exchange extra vegetables with others who were 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 where gardeners or individuals could drop off their excess garden produce and others, if they were short of something, could pick up vegetables if required.
Produce was dropped off at three sites: the Anglican Church in Endeavour; the Lutheran Church garage in Preeceville; and the Grace United Church hall in Sturgis.
The leftover produce was donated to local organizations in Preeceville and Sturgis.
