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.

Our Vision
A healthy, hunger-free community where everyone has equitable access to nourishing food.
Our Mission
We support our community by recovering and sharing nourishing food, offering choice, dignity and a sense of belonging, while working alongside stakeholders and advocating for a future without hunger.
Our Values
Dignity & Respect
We meet every person without judgement, treat them with respect, and offer them choice.
Compassion & Kindness
We act with care, warmth, and empathy – for the people we serve, our staff, and our volunteers.
Belonging & Community
We are a welcoming family. People belong here. We share what we have and help each other.
Integrity & Commitment
We do what we say, are dedicated to the people we serve, and stay focused on real impact.
Creativity & Stewardship
We are innovative and resilient, use our resources well, and embrace growth and enjoyment in our work.
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!
