Celebrate 10 years of The SEED!
The SEED began in 2015 with a mandate to build fresh food access in Guelph. We have come a long way since then- help us celebrate!
It takes a community to feed a community.
Grow The SEED is our tenth anniversary signature event. Join us in celebrating 10 years of bold, community-driven action for food justice in Guelph-Wellington. The SEED has grown from a practical idea into a region-wide movement transforming how we feed and care for one another. We are excited to share the details with you here!
Date: Thursday, October 2, 2025
Time: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Location: The Community Food Warehouse, 69 Huron Street, Guelph
Tickets: $50 per guestÂ
Alcohol-Free Event
What to Expect
Celebrate and support food justice with an inspiring evening of:
Delectable local cuisine & creative, non-alcoholic mocktails

Games, raffles & a silent auction
Networking & community connection
Stories of impact from The SEED’s first 10 years—and what’s ahead
WHY IT MATTERS
Over 23% of households in Guelph-Wellington cannot afford the food they need. The SEED is not just feeding people—we’re rebuilding the food system to be more equitable, sustainable, and community-led.
Be part of a movement that’s grown from a few partners into a 45+ organization network distributing millions in purchased and surplus food, nourishing schools, and empowering neighbours.
CELEBRATE AND CONNECT
This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a celebration of what we’ve accomplished—together—and a call to action for the next chapter. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to The SEED, we welcome you to grow with us.
