Founded in 2019, GROW is a charity and agroecological farm with a mission to champion food justice and the right to a sustainable way of life for all.
We grow vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers for our partner school, The Totteridge Academy, and our local community.

The wonders of the GROW farm inspire our educational work. We deliver agroecological food growing and outdoor learning programmes for children, young people, and families who experience barriers to learning, healthy living, and employment.
We welcome hundreds of people to our farm every year through our community volunteering & events.

To help meet this we have created a day that your company and its employees can get involved to make a difference. It is a great way for working teams to bond, spend time outside, pick up growing tips and contribute to the overall running of the farm. Whatever the weather, we can create a fun and impactful day for your team!

The Fedora Open is the only annual fundraiser for the Michael “Mickey” Soroka Charitable Foundation. It is held in the summer on the last Sunday in July, which is in advance of the major project requests that occur in the fall generated by the teachers and staff of the K-12 Campbell City Schools. Since the COVID pandemic, this has been our sole fundraiser for the entire year and it generates funds that provide educational assistance and contribute to academic programs which inspire and guide students of Campbell City Schools. In addition to funding four scholarships totaling over $6,000, we sponsor several educational and development activities for the students throughout the school year. The Soroka Foundation does not have any paid staff, so all net fundraising is used for the benefit of the students. We have an annual professional audit and are a Silver Level participant in the Candid program.

At JA Finance Park presented by the USAA Foundation, each student becomes “an adult for the day” in an electronic simulation. The students are assigned a life scenario so they can experience firsthand the real-life challenges of making personal budgeting decisions. After calculating their net monthly income and savings goals, students visit kiosks that represent different budget categories such housing, health insurance, groceries, and utilities. Anyone with real world monthly budgeting experience can become a volunteer. JA Finance Park Volunteers play a key role by helping the students understand the concepts of personal financial planning and career exploration. Volunteers provide guidance and assistance while monitoring and verifying students’ work.
