SIRCH hosted its annual rally for rhubarb last week in Haliburton in support of the non-profit’s community kitchen programs.

County residents who may have had extra rhubarb growing in their gardens were asked to consider donating it to SIRCH during this year’s collection days.

While technically a vegetable, SIRCH said the donated rhubarb “will be transformed into homemade fruit servings and comforting desserts through SIRCH’s community kitchen program, helping provide thousands of nutritious meals to seniors, families, and individuals experiencing food insecurity across Haliburton County.”
