GROCERY SUPPORT PROGRAM
We welcome those in our Client Care Program to our onsite grocery depot once each month – where each one can ‘shop’ for the grocery and personal-care items that they need, at no-charge. Our approach is to provide each client with the power of choice as we provide groceries to assist with household food-budgets and food-security.
Our goal is to enable clients to obtain the best possible assortment of food for their health and the health of their loved ones. We aim to support the nutritional, cultural, and dietary needs of clients.
We are grateful for the retailers, food recovery services, food-drive supporters, and charitable foundations that provide needed resources for this program.

EMERGENCY FOOD PROGRAM
We’ve launched this program in partnership St. Andrew’s United Church and The Way Church. Pre-packed bags of food are provided for residents needing immediate help, or for those who are waiting to join our Client-Care Program, and for clients in transition from other Harvest Project programs. Find addresses and times here.
FOOD RECOVERY PROGRAM
100% of food and personal hygiene products that Harvest Project offers to clients is donated by individuals, businesses and community groups. We have worked closely with Vancouver Coastal Health North Shore to develop this food recovery program and protocols for safely handling, transporting and storing perishable foods. We work to provide a healthy, practical range of foods.
