Food Share Network

Food Share Network

The Food Share Network contributes to the enhanced health of people and our local communities here in the Capital Region. No one should go without access to fresh, local, nutritious food. We want to improve the efficiency and safety for people accessing non-profit food services. Our goal is to strengthen community links and access to resources that support self-sufficiency.

The Food Share Network was formed in 2013 in consultation with more than 40 community groups who recognized a need to collaborate on innovative approaches to increase food security in Greater Victoria.

Today, the Food Share Network is composed of over 70 non-profit agencies, schools, and First Nations that are all focused on enhancing food security in the region. We work collaboratively to find solutions to food security issues, share information about best practices, and support the distribution of 10,000 lbs (4,550 kgs) of fresh healthy vegetables, fruits, and dairy every year to individuals and families who need this food to survive and thrive.
