Interested community members are invited to attend Food Link Nanaimo’s first public forum in 2010. This event will bring together people from various food security organizations in Nanaimo to talk about the issues affecting us and how we can work together towards reliable access to healthy food for all residents of Nanaimo and area.
There will be an opportunity to learn about food security organizations and programs such as the 7 to 10 Club, Loaves and Fishes and Nanaimo Foodshare’s Good Food Box program. The mission of Food Link is to be involved in food advocacy and policy development; to support community food systems and capacity building programs; and to support community organizations involved in short-term food relief. To learn about these and other local food initiatives, and to share your ideas please join us in attending the public forum held Wednesday February 3rd from 7 to 9pm in the beautiful new Pacific Co-housing complex located at 347 Seventh St, Nanaimo. The event will include updates from different food relief agencies in Nanaimo and group discussion with opportunities to hear from you. Refreshments provided. All are welcome.
