April 6th. Can anyone guess the year? This was years ago, in my backyard in St. Catharines'.

The Cold Winter Shelters close April 1st. The others are always at capacity.

When the snow melts, it's a heck of a hike to feed the Encampments hot food from our insulated boxes. Super Muddy right now.

47% of food in Ontario is Wasted.

2/10 people in Niagara are skipping meals.

What started years ago as my wife and I aiming to share 30 meals per week, quickly hit 1000 per week.

We have shared over 100k FREE MEALS so far and our little Niagara Mushroom Army has swelled. Just neighbours helping neighbours.

Some notable events along the way:

Someone burnt down the last community fridge in St. Catharines.

Someone followed us in a jacked up truck revving their engines trying to intimidate through multiple food hand out stops then peeled away, tires screeching.

Someone pulled over and screamed at my niece for helping us hand out food.

Online comments like:

"Let the Winter take them away."

"YOU HAVE TOXIC EMPATHY!"

"You and your family are cockroaches. They should just get jobs."

And worse....plus calls to Public health, Fire and Bilaw because we are sharing soup and sandwiches with the streets.

But the coolest part?

We persisted. We keep growing.

I spoke at Townhalls, I delegated to council, I met with the Mayor a few times. I even recently had a call with Doug Ford.

The mushroom army is just getting started.

Full Spring Ahead.

MushLove!

So... I talked to Doug Ford on the phone today.

You may have noticed that I haven't posted here on IG for a while.

I've been working on our food recovery program here for Niagara.

We have shared over 100k meals and our mushroom army is growing like crazy.

I'm cooking hundreds of hot meals tomorrow for the encampments they keep clearing out.

I'm going to need to lean in with all the audience I've got next week.

So comment and like please for the algorithm that can build me up, or shut me down.

40k free meals shared during Cathy and I's first year of food recovery.

60k free meals for our second year of recovering food waste and cooking like I'm my Gramma.

This year our goal is 100k meals and we are on track to bury that number.

So Doug Ford called me back after I texted him.

We discussed the defunding of safe injection sites across Ontario, the gap between his Hart hubs and what that means for Cathy and I feeding the streets.

Do you think I can trust Doug Ford?

90k free meals, just my wife and I and helpers and $9k in donations.

47% of food in Canada is wasted.
2 out of 10 people in Niagara are skipping meals.

Help us fix that math.

This is what I've been messily exploring in 2024/2025.

Made so mush progress in so many different areas.

Mind maps like this will help me streamline my efforts in 2026.

If you are interested in any of these spaces I'm navigating, reach out and let's make some plans.

I think I'll start running a series of "nature walks" in 2026 for reconnecting everyone with the land, and with each other, and for brainstorming how we heal our community.

Hope is free. Kindness is free. Knowledge is free. Community building is priceless.

When we all have each other's backs we can do anything.

Together we stand.

Let's grow Mushroom Army.
🍄❤️🙏

Last we night we got so mush food to the encampments piping hot.

40lbs smoked chicken drumsticks and thighs.

2 trays homemade stuffing from scratch. I diced celery, onions, carrots, tons of mushrooms. Bay leaves, and thyme and sage from my garden. All the drippings from the chicken. My best stuffing ever.

2 trays smoker roasted potatoes with my onion, salt, pepper, garlic rub and veg oil.

1 tray fresh green beans drowned in a half pound of salted butter.

My scratch chicken gravy.

Thanks to the neighbours for letting me use their ovens again, to all the helpers and to the chefs kind enough to donate any surplus food.

My food cost was just the packaging, some butter and some spices.

80 piping hot meals in insulated boxes to encampments.

If you need food or want to help, we post in our Mushroom Army FB group when we need help, or have food to share.

Just neighbourhoods helping neighbourhoods across Niagara. Connecting like mycelium.

Donate to [email protected] via Etransfer, no pressure, times are tight everywhere, or share, like, comment. It all helps.

MushLove!

If you need free food or want to join our team, join our Mushroom Army FB group. 🍄❤️🙏. We keep growing! Let's end hunger in Niagara.

2 out of 10 people in Niagara are skipping meals while almost half the food in Canada gets wasted.

If we get just 20k people active in this peaceful protest of MushLove, no politicians and no corporations can stand in the way of our fight for:

SYSTEMIC CHANGE.

Poverty isn't about lazy people.

It's a policy choice enabled by voters, tricked by the ruling class.

Come together!

If you can help with our packaging costs, Etransfer to [email protected]

We average $0.10/per meal over almost 80k meals now.

So every dollar you send shares 10 meals?

How?

Food recovery. Lots of bread, rice, beans, pasta and MushLove. No board of directors, ceo's or salaries, just Neighbours helping neighbours.

I've use all my neighborhood stoves as needed and they love it.

MushLove!
🍄❤️🙏
