Christmas Midday Mass Distribution
Watch this video to learn about our big annual Christmas lunch. Our holiday lunch is all about using food surplus and reducing food waste. Last year, we saved 70,000 car miles worth of food with our Christmas efforts, so join us for 2023.

Dr. Emily Connally
Managing Director
Dr. Emily L. Connally uses lived experience from her childhood in rural New Mexico to guide her vision of communities living within the planet’s resources. Before founding Cherwell Collective, Emily was an experimental psychologist with expertise in how the brain learns and how people’s behaviour changes.
She uses that knowledge to create spaces that are truly open to all, where people from any walk of life can connect without judgement or pressure, and where people build the infrastructure they want and need for climate resilience.
