text: Richmond Sharing Farm, with over a thousand volunteers, has been growing organic produce for the past 15 years in support of the local food bank, and community meals.. 
  
  In 2015 over 13,000 pounds of food was donated, and 554 families a week rely on these donations. Another 1000 pounds a year are distributed for community meals.
  
  Yet another example why we should not  pave over and build condos on our viable agricultural land.
