 LUSH Valley is a proud member of the Island Food Hubs, a group eight of food access organizations from all across Vancouver Island.
Recently, leaders from each organization, along with Public Health and Indigenous Dietitians gathered in Port Alberni to share challenges and opportunities, and discuss ways to collaboratively address food insecurity and promote the health of urban, rural, remote and Indigenous communities on Vancouver Island. They toured the Hupacasath First Nation Community Farm and The Dock Plus to learn more about local food initiatives in the Alberni Valley and left feeling incredibly inspired! Thanks to AV Food Society for hosting, and Grassroots for feeding everyone so well – it wouldn’t be a Food Hubs gathering without delicious, nourishing local food. Check out each of the Island Food Hubs to see the exciting and unique work being done in food security all across Vancouver Island, from Victoria to Port Hardy: @avfoodsociety Capital Region Fair @clayoquotbiosphere @cowichangreencommunity @greenwaystrust Kwakiutl Health Centre @lushvalleyfood @nanaimofoodshare The Queneesh Indigenous Community Society would like to thank Lush Valley for their ongoing commitment and support of all of our communities!
