GROCERY SUPPORT PROGRAM AND NUTRITION PATHWAY
We welcome those in our Client Care Program to our onsite grocery depot where each one can pick-up the grocery and personal-care items that they need each month. Our approach is to provide each client with the power of choice and provide groceries to assist with their food-budgets and to relieve food-insecurity.
Our Nutrition Pathway is an opportunity for clients to gain lifelong skills around nutrition and healthy eating, so that each one can make better choices for their health and the health of their loved ones. The goal is to empower clients with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions about nutritional choices. The Pathway will provide additional food security support, nutrition education, and help with food literacy, cooking and meal planning. We aim to remove barriers around food knowledge and skills: improving the health of our clients and our community.

EMERGENCY FOOD PROGRAM
We’ve launched this program in partnership St. Catherines Anglican 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 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.
