In a press release, Hunger in Moose Jaw proudly announced that Yara International has agreed to another three-year term as the leading sponsor for the community gardens project here in the city.
“Supporting Yara Community Gardens is an excellent fit for Yara’s Community Involvement strategy”, said George Pohorelic, president and plant manager of Yara Belle Paine, in the press release.
The Yara Community Gardens operates 140 garden plots and boxes in three locations in Moose Jaw and is just one initiative in Hunger in Moose Jaw’s repertoire. The garden is a community project, supporting the idea of sustainable nutrition and community involvement, and has been running since 2006.
As a company that deals in the manufacturing of nitrogen fertilizer, Yara International supports the ideals of the community garden and chooses to support initiatives where its employees call home.
Sharla Sept, executive director at Hunger in Moose Jaw, is pleased with the renewed partnership.
“Having the continued support from Yara is key to the success we have been building over the past 10 plus years,” said Sept in the press release. “The gardens are a place to grow not only produce but grow a sense of community and we are thrilled to be able to continue to support our mission of supporting families with nutritional programming.”
