Providence Farm

Providence Farm's Free Clothing Store, Community Outreach: Farm Fashions is OPEN Wednesday through Friday from 9:30am - 12:30pm. Peruse our clothing racks for a new-to-you treasure. We accept laundered & gently used clothes during our store hours if you would like to donate. Right now spring and summer clothes are on our wish list. Stop by and say hello to our Farm Fashions Coordinator and our fabulous volunteers who make it all possible! 🧡👕🩳👚🩴🧢👍

At Providence Farm we gather together twice daily to enjoy a snack or lunch break. Each time we eat together we are aware of the efforts each participant & staff member has made in our carefully connected nature-based therapeutic programs to bring fresh, delicious food to our shared table. We plant & tend food in our Greenhouse & Kitchen Garden, band together to deliver our harvests to the kitchen where participants, with the support, guidance & planning of Chef Charlotte prepare nutritious meals for everyone. We delight in discovering how & what each person chose to contribute to our plates. It's a great conversation

Dining together supports improved mental health, nutrition & emotional resiliance. Our predictable dining gathering time & environment provides reliable and safe oportunities to socialise, decompress and share our daily experiences.

All this from a little coffee break & lunch break! Yes, please! 😋🧡

Farm Fashions Free Store Community Outreach is open from Wednesday - Friday, 9:30am - 12:30pm every week. Give a warm welcome our new Farm Fashions Coordinator, Tasha! She is thrilled to be working alongside our fabulous volunteers to serve our growing community. Stop by to find some basics, fill some gaps in your wardrobe and discover a new-to-you treasure.

We believe that clothing is not just a necessity, but a means of empowerment, dignity and expression.

Tasha and our fabulous Farm Fashions volunteers are happy to accept donations during store hours, see our Spring Donation Wish List for ideas. 🧡🧥🧢👕👖👍

Woop! Woop! Our wonderful kitchen volunteers have a 30 second dance party to celebrate a job well done. Colourful chopped produce is prepped and ready for lunch and the walk-in is stocked & organised. 🙌👍🫛🍠🧅🍅🫐🧡😃

Staff and participants appreciate the support and company our volunteers bring to us. Thank you, thank you thank you!

As harvest season ramps up in the Greenhouse and Kitchen Garden, we have more volunteer opportunities available in the kitchen. Tasks include washing, chopping and packaging freshly harvested produce/ We might even have a few canning projects. You'll meet a friendly & welcoming community of volunteers, participants and staff who would love to get to know you better as we work together and while we enjoy a delicious lunch on your volunteer day.
