Microgreen Program Donations
Most food banks use their donations to BUY food and then distribute it to their clients.
The Rock Soup Greenhouse and Food Bank is different, we actually grow our own produce rather than buy it.
Every dollar donated, allows us to grow at least four dollars' worth of produce,
which then goes directly to help feed the needy.
What's in it for you?
A charitable donation receipt, with a BIG tax refund, and the knowledge you are helping to feed a lot of needy people.
We have different donorship levels and they all come with amazing benefits additionally to knowing that you are supporting Rock Soup and its mission.
Every dollar donated, does at least four dollars of good.
The First dollar goes directly to Rock Soup, which allows us to grow fresh microgreens,
The Second and Third dollars, come from microgreens grown, and then donated to other local food banks,
The Fourth dollar comes from the government in the future, by way of a matching grant.

In general an Alberta taxpayer can receive up to about a 50% tax refund (29% Federally and 21% Provincially) of their charitable donation receipt.
