We collect and distribute approximately seven million pounds of food annually to over 130 member food banks, meal programs, and shelters across the province. We also support the member agencies as they build capacity to serve their communities. While we help Nova Scotians meet a very basic need, we’re raising awareness of the root causes of food insecurity–things like systemic racism, low wages, inadequate income support, and unaffordable housing. And we’re advocating for sustainable, policy-based solutions that will allow everyone to live a life of dignity and leave no one relying on charitable band-aids to address human rights.
