Introducing Callaloo Cash

Callaloo Cash is a market currency program designed to help local families who are in need of affordable access to clean and culturally appropriate food. The cash-holder will use them at vendors that provide essential, fresh and nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, eggs, fish, meat and bread.

The cash system is organized into denominations of three ($3.00) CDN. The purpose of this system is to reduce the financial barriers of low-income people, so that they can enjoy ethical, local and organically-grown foods. With this initiative, we would like to partner with local food security organizations, community organizations and businesses.
