Our Mission
Small Actions, Big Impact
At LemonShare, we believe that good food belongs on plates, not in the compost or on the ground. Every year, countless tonnes of backyard produce go to waste, missing the chance to nourish our communities.We’re on a mission to help neighbours connect, reduce waste, and build stronger, greener communities, one lemon, one egg, one seedling at a time.By sharing what we have in abundance, we create more than just food exchanges: We build relationships, support local growers, and make sustainability simple and accessible.
