Come Volunteer with us!
Did you know…the Shuswap Food Action Society is driven and funded primarily by community members like you?
We're always looking for volunteers!
Whether it is helping chop vegetables for our school meal program, or planting seedlings at our garden, volunteering is a great way to meet others, have fun and make a positive impact on our community.

Real Money Casinos in New Zealand are the best way to play at online casinos without risking any of your own money. Most people are used to playing slots on land based casinos, where they put their money down and hope that a machine will give them a jackpot. When you are playing at a real money casino you are placing your bets, which have a cash value associated with them. There is no chance that your money will make you a million dollars if you do not know what you are doing. If you have never played at an online casino before it can be intimidating to learn all about how it works and how to get the most out of it, but with the right information you can easily learn how to become a successful jackpot winner.
Do you want to learn more about Permaculture? More about growing your own food and managing a garden? Would you like to help strengthen your community? Then we've got a great opportunity for you!
Lend a hand at the PERMABLITZ! Hosted by Lekker Land Design Shuswap Food Action and Salmon Arm Ministries - The Salvation Army, we encourage everyone to take some time on one or both days to learn-while-doing, get some good exercise and get the job done!
This Food Forest has provided some beautiful produce to local residents and also a whole lotta JOY around the neighbourhood. We're already looking forward to Spring 2023 for growing even more and showcasing this excellent way to use more of our green spaces to improve all of our food security in the Shuswap!
Please share this event so that more people will see and join us in creating long-lasting solutions in our community!
Psst! Guess What? Apple Fest is back! Saturday, Oct 8th, from 9-1pm, this celebration of local food will be hosted as a part of our Downtown Salmon Arm Farmers Market, in collaboration with Downtown Salmon Arm and Askew's Foods.
Featuring:
Northyards Cider Co.
A & L Peterson Orchards
Davis Hannah Orchard
Buckerfield's Salmon Arm
Mobile Juicing
Music and Entertainment!
We're excited to have the mobile juice truck back and they will be in Salmon Arm at 8 am at the Ross Street Plaza. They will also be at the Askew's Armstrong parking lot on Sunday, Oct 9 at around 9/9:30 am.
The cost of the juice this year is $8.20/5 L box. The Mobile Juice Factory provides the boxes with the bags inside so people only need to bring their apples.
A FB Event will be created with more details about the juicing, vendors and activites ASAP!
Another Sweet for SFAS and for our community! We had a draw during the Salmon Arm Fair and we drew Ryan Heibloem name as the winner of our SFAS SHU-Box! Ryan has chosen to donate his SHU-Box to another who can use it and this coupon will go to the folks over at Food with Friends to help contribute to their food needs as they continue to create hot meals for folks who can benefit from a hot meal, 3 days per week at the parking lot of the Free Methodist Church.
We DO have a great community! Thank you Ryan for giving!

A bit of a bitter sweet day today and we'd like your perspective.
Sweet: Jackson High at Jackson Kitchen serving hot meals to students! Yesterday was the first day at Shuswap Middle School too! Kids eating well... and LOCAL!
Sweet: At the Salmon Arm Ministries - The Salvation Army Lighthouse Food Forest we had Arlene walk by and exclaim "When did this get here?"
ME: Where are you from?
Arlene: From Enderby! This is so great! Can I help?
ME: Yes please!
And she proceeded to pick beans and harvest basil to add to our harvest box. Felt good 🙂
But bitter too... last night our new cedar shed for the Downtown Salmon Arm Farmers Market was vandalized and broken into and we had our Shuswap Food Action market tent stolen. Besides the damage, that tent is very valuable.
And yet still sweet because with the quick help of our board member Howie and Rick of Rick's Rubbish Removal, we removed the damage and have band-aided the situation with his donated plywood. We asked for help and there they were. We have some amazing support.
PS: just learned that the TENT WAS FOUND!
This is a band-aid fix as mentioned because it could happen again. The old shed was too small and we needed a new one. So we will attempt to create some solutions moving forward! No matter what, we continue to believe in the goodness of people and continue to work at building community!
Thank you to Rick and Howie for helping fix it and for Woody with Bill Laird's office for going and getting it where it was found and returning it to us!
Making Salsa at Zest Kitchen for our school programs this year! Big Big thank you to Gloria Pesch (not pictured), Ahu Eronat, Aly Stone and Sheena McArthur for all their hard work and love!
This is such a great time of year to put in the time and effort to get your garden ready so that come spring, it is ready to grow FRESH food!
