GAETZ GLEANING AND CANNING GROUP 2026

We are very short of 250ml canning jars as we almost used them all up last season. If you have any to return from last year, please drop them off at the church. We only want 250 ml jars with the 2-part lids. We have no need for 500ml jars at this time.

We are also in need of financial donations to Gaetz United Church towards canning supplies (canning lids, certo, sugar, etc). If anyone wants to join this group to help with the gleaning and canning, please let us know so you can be added to our email group.

Please let us know of any source of fruit or vegetables (fresh or frozen) that we could glean.

Thanks everyone for your help.
