CHARITY PARTNER
FED Urban Agriculture
Synergy’s partners, Heidi Grantner and Jill Doucette, worked with Calen McNeil and the team at Big Wheel Burger to create a charity dedicated to urban food systems.
Now a Charity operating for 12 years, FED Urban Agriculture remains our charity partner. Donations we make to FED provide sustainably grown food to those in need.
FED is transforming the way our community connects with sustainable, local food. Through innovative urban agriculture projects, they turn underutilized spaces into thriving growing hubs—providing fresh, healthy produce to those who most need it. Their work enhances food security, strengthens local resilience, and fosters a more regenerative future.
