Food is the centre of everything we do at Covenant House. It is the first thing we offer a youth when they come through our doors, and it’s what fuels our young people as they work hard for a brighter future.
The Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Society of Yukon supports people who are living with or suspected of having fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in housing, justice, employment and food security. Having food and other items on hand to give to our service users is a great way to encourage them to come into the office regularly. With regular communication, we can build the relationships necessary to encourage change among our service users. With the donations from Second Harvest, we always have something to give our folks even when funding is tight.
These donations provided healthy meals to hundreds of Inuvialuit living in the ISR where access to affordable, quality food is often challenging. Due to the high cost and logistical issues of shipping food to our isolated communities, as well as the socioeconomic inequities that persist, food sovereignty has long been an issue in the ISR. It is in partnership with great organizations like Second Harvest that we will begin to alleviate some of the historic and systemic causes of strain on individuals and families in our region ...
