Thank you for supporting the Gift of Good Food
At Fernwood Neighborhood House and the Good Food Box, we believe food has a unique way of bringing people together. Meals aren’t just nourishment—they’re often moments of laughter, new friendships, shared stories and a sense of belonging.
This holiday season, we’re raising funds to strengthen food access for families facing food insecurity across our region. From fresh fruits and vegetables to meals for children, families, seniors, and youth, our programs address immediate needs for people in our community.
Why your support matters:
In British Columbia, 1 in 5 people experience food insecurity. Your donation to the Gift of Good Food allows us to continue vital programs, providing consistent and dignified access to food.
Through initiatives like the Good Food Box, our weekly community meal, perinatal support in our Best Babies program, and so much more, we weave food into every part of our programming. Every meal strengthens the connections between people and neighbours in our community.
The lasting effects of the pandemic, inflation, rising food costs, and our city’s housing crisis are putting immense pressure on families, individuals, and seniors, forcing them to make tough choices about what they can afford to put on the table.
Your contribution can mean the difference between a family that goes to bed hungry and one that experiences the security and connection of a shared meal.
Help us reach our fundraising goal of $150,000 to ensure dignified, consistent food access for those who need it most. Together, we’re not just providing food—we’re building a community filled with warmth, connection, and justice.
