A free fundraising event benefiting VFM’s Fresh to Families Fund
We believe that fresh, locally-grown food should be available to everyone regardless of income.Through our partners at Mosaic, Vancouver Coastal Health, Kitsilano Neighbourhood House and Vancouver Community Connections, Fresh to Families provides coupons that can be redeemed at BC farmers markets, providing access to fresh, locally grown food that may otherwise be inaccessible while giving participants the dignity to choose the foods that work best for them. Every dollar redeemed goes straight to BC farmers and producer vendors.
Last year we raised $80K that supported 160 vulnerable families, seniors, and newly arrived refugees. Your donation will help us serve even more people this year!
