Thank you for your support of the northern food banks. These donations reached many homes throughout Northern BC! Our food bank guests were so appreciative of the healthy protein and fruit provided by the donation.

Second Harvest has been an invaluable resource when it comes to food insecurity in our area. [Through our partnership, we have the] impact of being able to provide nutrition to those who cannot feed themselves.

We have many families that have been renovicted, living in hotels with little children. It breaks my heart, but we’re able to give them some relief. Maybe they can even save a little for first and last month’s rent [with food support] and find somewhere new. Thanks to Second Harvest, we’re getting food to feed individuals, single parents and full families who are working two jobs.
