Nanoose Community Services
New food distribution and transportation materials
Challenge
Nanoose Community Services is a registered charity located in Nanoose Bay. They provide support to individuals and families facing economic adversities, through their four programs: Food Program, Emergency Services, Elf Program and Education.
Unfortunately, in Nanoose Bay there is a lack of access to locally grown produce for those in need. As a result, the local farmers are throwing away healthy produce because they are growing more than what they can sell.
Solution
To provide Nanoose Community Services with the necessary funding to purchase safe and efficient transportation and distribution materials like, rubbermaid totes and a market pop-up tent. This will allow Nanoose and their volunteers to benefit from their partnership with local farmers and thus be able to distribute healthy fresh produce to low-income individuals, families and seniors.
