Mission & Advocacy

Every rescued meal matters. We bridge the gap between surplus food and empty plates, delivering nourishment directly to our neighbors facing hunger. Here’s how it works:

• Food recovery: We partner with local grocery stores, restaurants, farmers, and other food providers to collect surplus food that would otherwise go to waste.
• Food sorting: Our team of volunteers and staff sort and inspect the recovered food to ensure it meets safety and quality standards.
• Food distribution: The rescued food is then distributed to our network of food banks, meal programs, and community agencies, ensuring it reaches those who need it most.

Through this program, we not only reduce food waste but also provide essential support to individuals and families facing hunger in our community. By working closely with our partners and volunteers, we’re able to make a significant impact and help create a more sustainable and equitable food system.

A hungry child can’t focus on fractions or verbs. That’s why we partner with schools to provide breakfasts that fuel both growing bodies and curious minds. Here’s how the program works:

• Breakfast programs: We support breakfast programs in schools across the province, providing students with a nutritious meal to start their day. These programs are often run by dedicated volunteers and staff who prepare and serve the meals.
• Nutritious food options: We focus on offering a variety of healthy, balanced food choices, including fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich options, to support students’ growth and development.
• Partnerships: We collaborate with local schools, community organizations, and food providers to ensure the success and sustainability of our student nutrition program.
• Education: In addition to providing meals, we also work to educate students about the importance of healthy eating habits and nutrition through engaging activities and resources.

By supporting student nutrition, we’re not only addressing immediate hunger needs but also investing in the long-term health, well-being, and academic success of the children in our community.

Hunger isn’t inevitable—it’s solvable. Our organization is actively involved in advocacy efforts to address the root causes of hunger and poverty in our community. We work to raise awareness about the issues surrounding food insecurity and collaborate with local, provincial, and national stakeholders to develop and implement effective policies and programs.

Through our advocacy work, we engage with government officials, community leaders, and other non-profit organizations to promote sustainable solutions to hunger. We participate in coalitions and networks focused on food security, sharing best practices and innovative approaches to tackling the complex challenges faced by those in need.

Our advocacy efforts also include raising public awareness about the realities of hunger and its impact on individuals and families. Through various communication channels, including social media, events, and partnerships, we aim to engage and educate the public, encouraging them to join us in the fight against hunger.

By combining our direct services with targeted advocacy initiatives, we work towards a future where no one in our community has to face hunger. Together, with the support of our volunteers, partners, and donors, we are committed to creating lasting change and building a stronger, more compassionate community for all.
