Community Feedback

We are deeply grateful to CBDC Parry Sound for helping Harvest Share Community Food Programs purchase our new building. This is such an important moment for our organization, and we know it would not have been possible without their support.
From the beginning, the CBDC team took the time to understand our vision and the needs of the people we serve. They believed in what this new home could mean for Harvest Share and helped us secure the loan to make it a reality.
To us, this building represents more than a new address. It is a place where our volunteers, staff, and community can come together to help neighbours facing food insecurity. Thank you, CBDC Parry Sound, for believing in our work and helping us take this step forward. Your support means more to us than words can express.

A dream that I thought would be years away came to life in 2024 with the help of CBDC. From start to finish the CBDC was there to provide insights, information, and support to put me on the right track to our office building purchase. In March 2024 we purchased an older building in Parry Sound and transformed it into a beautiful part of downtown. A dream not possible without the CBDC team. CBDC is a valuable asset in our community that provides businesses like me the support to grow. I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with the CBDC team.
