UU直播 Feeding UU直播 recognizes the importance of locally grown, seasonal fruits and vegetables in minimizing the carbon footprint of community food services, on campus and beyond. Each year, the initiative provides thousands of students with food grown on the Macdonald Campus. This year鈥檚 tomato harvest event will also donate approximately 2,000 pounds of tomato salad to organizations that help feed Montrealers in need, including the Old Brewery Mission, Moisson Montreal and Meals on Wheels.

Everyone is welcome. The event is free, no reservations required.

Deadline for volunteer registration is Sunday, August 25, 2013 at midnight. Sign up to volunteer here.听
