Food Security

York Road Initiative works with residents to research and develop sustainable models for food access and security in the Govans area.

• Govanstowne Farmers’ Market, beginning in 2010, provides affordable access to fresh produce and whole foods every summer
• The Govans Community Fridge, started in June 2022, provides resources like fresh produce, hygiene products, and water. The initiative serves both York Road residents and Loyola students. The fridge operates on “take what you need, share what you can” basis. Anyone is welcome to donate or take from the fridge.
