Starting today, donations to Food Stash will be matched* thanks to South Flats by PCI Developments and Low Tide Properties! Our goal is to raise at least $100,000 in donations (which will be doubled!) Every dollar puts a nutritious meal onto the plate of someone who needs, deserves, and appreciates it, while protecting our planet.
What could be a better gift than that?
In Canada, almost half of our food (about 47%) goes to waste. “Imperfect” fruits and vegetables are often rejected, and food that is ordered in surplus by accident has nowhere to go. This means priceless resources are wasted and harmful greenhouse gases are emitted into our atmosphere, while 1 in 4 of us struggle to put enough food on the table.
Instead, help us turn this good food into a powerful gift!
When you donate to Food Stash, your gift nourishes and connects our community while protecting the planet. You can help prevent over 10 tonnes of CO2-equivalent greenhouse gas emissions, and deliver over 130,000 pounds of nutritious food to people who need and appreciate it each month.
One Rescued Food Box program member described their experience of getting customized grocery boxes delivered to their home, and the impact it has on low-income people with chronic illnesses and disabilities:
“Not only am I eating far better and more nutritiously, but my
stress levels have become manageable and the weekly arrival of a
variety of foods has really helped me to enjoy the experience of
cooking and eating again. I am no longer stressed about balancing my
finances and it has calmed my anxiety and depression. Having Food
Stash has dramatically improved my quality of life.”
— Chelsea, Rescued Food Box Member**
Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we can rescue over
100,000 meals’ worth of good food every month and share it with
neighbours, instead of seeing it wasted. This includes surplus dairy,
fruits, and veggies from grocery stores and farms that would otherwise
go to waste.
Together with the 50 nonprofit community partner organizations that we deliver food to, we can give the gift of good food, connection, and nourishment to over 11,000 people every week.
And right now, every dollar you give will be matched* so that your gift goes twice as far.
It only costs about $1 to provide a meal to someone who needs, deserves, and appreciates it.
Give the best gift you can give today.
Please donate now if you can, and please help us spread the word! Thank you!
*Eligible donations matched up to $100,000 until December 31, 2025, thanks to South Flats by PCI Developments and Low Tide Properties! Matching does not apply to restricted grants, anonymous donations, or existing monthly donations.
