Community food insecurity support in British Columbia

Overview

Community-led initiatives are addressing food insecurity through fundraising and direct service in Campbell River. In late October, a Caremongering event raised over $21,000 to provide essential groceries, such as formula and diapers, to 213 families.

By early November, volunteer efforts in Campbell River expanded to include the delivery of home-cooked meals to vulnerable residents, including unhoused individuals and people with disabilities. These volunteers are delivering between 50 and 90 meals per night to fill gaps left by the closure of a local community soup kitchen. During this period, local service models are shifting, with the Salvation Army providing weekday lunches and collaborating with the United Church to manage Saturday programs.
