Nanaimo Foodshare Society’s Good Food Box Program
Mid Island Métis Nation supports citizens who need extra food support with a bi-weekly Good Food Box.
The Good Food Box program is a group-buying program that helps bring affordable fresh fruits and vegetables to our community. It is a package of 7-9 varieties of whole fruits and vegetables available. Through this program, the cost of healthy food is reduced by buying direct from farms and wholesalers and having a great team of volunteers pack and distribute hundreds of Good Food Boxes each week!
If you would like to be added to our waitlist for this program, please contact MidIslandMetis.HealthLiaison@gmail.com
