Shuswap Food Action Society is still fundraising to support food insecure families in the School District through the winter with boxes of nutritious, local food through both the Good Food Box program and our local producers. The Salmon Arm Rotary Club has offered to match our fundraising activities up to $2500! We have raised $1,558.85 so far and would like to meet our goal of $2,500 so that we can take advantage of matched funds (so if you donate $1, we get $2!) You can donate through my.charitableimpact.com/groups/shuswap-school-box or on our website www.shuswapfood.ca or stop by our booth at this Saturday on the last Downtown Salmon Arm Farmers Market. CALL TO ACTION! We will be looking for folks to help with packing these local food boxes, once a week, about 1-2 hours, so if this interests you, please contact Serena at info@shuswapfood.ca .

So glad to have this truly charitable group highlighted! Their volunteers work very hard to help so many people! We were thrilled to be able to provide hundreds of pounds of fresh vegetables to their cause every week through the summer from the Shuswap Community Teaching Garden and look forward to our continued relationship with them to strive for better access to nutritious food in our communities!

MEET YOUR DOWNTOWN NONPROFIT: Second Harvest Food Bank
Second Harvest -Shuswap

Second Harvest Food Bank is a non-profit food program in Salmon Arm, that was established in 1991. After closing for a short while, they re-opened in 2001 under the umbrella of Neighbourlink Shuswap.

Second Harvest Food Bank is a 100% volunteer and donation-based program that serves over 200 plus needy families each week. There are no paid employees, no administration fees, and they receive no government assistance. The Second Harvest food program embodies the principle of “those who have more than they need, sharing with those who have less”. Food is provided from the five food groups with an emphasis on fresh, healthy foods. A special milk program is available as well, for families with children.

Many community members and partners support Second Harvest with their donations of funds and volunteer time. If you would like to donate or volunteer your time, please visit their website at www.shuswapsecondharvest.ca
