🎃 Pumpkin season is here! 🍂

Pumpkins aren’t just for carving—they’re a nutritious and versatile addition to your meals. Did you know pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A and also provides fibre? Even the seeds can be put to good use as a tasty snack! 🌱

From soups and casseroles to muffins and baked goods, there are plenty of ways to enjoy pumpkin this fall. Fresh, frozen, or canned—all can be delicious options. 🍁

Looking for tips on choosing, storing, preparing, and cooking pumpkin? Check out this helpful article from Unlock Food:

Bringing Healthcare and Support Directly to Migrant Workers!

On September 11, 2026, North Lambton Community Health Centre (NLCHC), through its Migrant Worker Project, hosted a Wellness & Information Session at Willow Spring Hydroponics.

This initiative is part of the TeaMWork Project, led by Workforce WindsorEssex and funded by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) through the Migrant Worker Support Program.

Together with our valued partners, Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres, Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers Inc. (OHCOW), CMHA Ontario, and the Mobile Care Clinic, we brought health information, resources, and essential services directly to the workers.
A highlight was having the Mobile Care Clinic on-site, making healthcare more accessible. As one worker described it, “A doctor on my doorstep.”

Thank you to Willow Spring Hydroponics management and staff for welcoming us and supporting their workers' well-being, and to our partners for their continued collaboration.

At NLCHC, we believe that meeting workers where they are, removing barriers, and building trust makes a lasting difference.
Together, we are building healthier, stronger, and more connected communities. 💚

9.8 million people in Canada lived in a food-insecure household in 2024. Food insecurity isn’t just about hunger—it can contribute to poorer health outcomes and increased use of emergency services.

At North Lambton Community Health Centre, we’re to local programs that help make healthy food more accessible.

One example is our collaboration with Sarnia Produce through the Garden Fresh Box—a reduced-rate box of fresh fruits and vegetables available for purchase at an affordable price.
For those living in rural areas, delivery is available to designated community pickup locations, helping make fresh, nutritious food more accessible beyond our larger centres.

Connecting people with healthy food and local resources is one more way we can support healthier communities. 🥕🍎
