You can help us continue to provide crucial services like rescued food box home deliveries and our rescued food market.
Prices are rising - and many people in our community are having to choose between food and other necessities. But we know there is enough food for everyone!
For Jo, a member of Food Stash’s rescued food box program, deliveries of healthy food can make the difference between eating balanced meals and having to worry about going hungry.
"The delivery brings peace of mind to me because I know I will be eating well that week despite living on a very small amount of money. Food Stash also frees up some income for those unexpected expenses. I am beyond grateful for Food Stash - it has become my primary source for delicious food and I do not know how I would live without it."
Your donation today can ensure people like Jo, and more than 100 other households we provide home deliveries to each week, can access affordable, healthy food in a dignified way.
You make all of this possible:
Provide home deliveries of customised grocery boxes to 120 households with financial challenges and disabilities or chronic health concerns
Deliver food to 35 charitable community partner organizations tackling homelessness and poverty, collectively serving over 14,000 people each week
Run our weekly pay-what-you-feel Rescued Food Market, providing affordable healthy food to over 140 shoppers a week
Host community events that celebrate food, raise awareness about food waste and promote a fair and circular food system
Partner to research and advocate for system-wide solutions so healthy food is available to all, and food is no longer wasted.
Our community and the planet need you now.
The work we’re doing together is more important than ever. With inflation driving up the cost of living, more Vancouver families have been turning to food charities to make ends meet.
And with all the resources and hard work that goes into our food, it is much too valuable to waste!
In Canada, we throw away 2.3 MILLION tons of edible food per year, even though 1 in 7 Canadians don’t have enough food to be healthy. If food waste were a country, it’d be the 3rd largest greenhouse gas emitter on earth.
The problem is not a shortage of food - it’s a broken food system.
You can be part of the solution.
Thanks to our generous matching donor, Legacy Liquor Store, your donations will be matched. Located in the heart of Olympic Village, this highly awarded liquor store has stepped up for the second year in a row to be our generous matching donor.
