Society
We’re a Non-Profit organization connecting people with food. Together we end hunger!
We believe everyone deserves access to nourishing food, without barriers or judgment.
Each month, we support individuals, families, and over 24 local partner agencies across the East Kootenays. Last year, we distributed over 550,000 pounds of food, more than 450,000 meals for our community.

Ways to Give
Happiness isn't getting more
It's giving more
The need is growing. One in three people we serve is a child, and many are working families, seniors, or individuals living with disabilities.
We receive no ongoing government funding. Everything we do is powered by our community.
Together, we’re working toward a future where no one in Cranbrook goes hungry.
Your neighbours are still in need
You can donate food, donate time, donate money, or even hold a fundraiser, there are many ways to help!
Be the change, become a volunteer
We love our Volunteers! We have many positions available with various ways you can use your skillset to help!
Your business or organization can help
From grocery deliveries to support in building our new facility, we wouldn’t be where we are with out the support of our partners!
