"Loblaws Foods Grant"

Thanks to the generous support of Loblaws, in conjunction with the Canadian 4-H Council, the PEI 4-H Council has $1000 worth of grants for clubs and food project groups to have a ‘Foods Experience’.

A food experience isn’t just any old pizza party, it’s when a group of members and leaders get together to make the pizza. It’s about  experiencing the food, not just eating it.

Some possible food activities 

- Grocery store scavenger hunt to get healthy, unique, and delicious snack for $5 to $7.

- Have someone prepare foods for an ethnic food night with lots of tasting

- Visit a maple syrup farm, and enjoy a meal in the woods after tapping some trees

- Have an outdoor outing and do some wilderness  cooking

- Host a tasting party for exotic foods fruits, cheeses, breads,etc.

- New look at familiar foods-visit to the honey drop manufacturer, or Cows Creamery

- Prepare healthy snacks or a meal for seniors club or local firemen’s meeting

 The potential activities for foods project groups and clubs are endless; it’s just about experiencing food by either learning better as to where it comes from, how it get’s  process, or how to prepare it for your table.

We know foods projects can be pricey, and this is meant to help!
