The Powell River Good Food Box
Local food, local connection, local food security: the Good Food Box
A box of top quality fresh fruit & vegetables sourced as locally as seasonably as possible--containing more nutrients, and lasting longer, while stimulating our local economy and building food security within our community.
This box can be purchased by any community member! There are no eligibility requirements to access the Good Food Box. The box allows people on low and fixed incomes to plan for times of scarcity when cash is low and fresh food is needed. It functions like a buying group, but there is no membership or long-term commitment; buy a box ahead of time and pick up later at a neighborhood depot.
The box is available for purchase twice per month for $25 (once per month during COVID-19), and financial assistance may be available through community programs. There is also an opportunity to send a hand up by lifting the entire cost or part of the cost for another. Order on the website food.liftcommunityservices.org or connect with the CRC to order by phone or in person.
Good Food Box is a local initiative revitalized by Lift Food Security Project in partnership with Tla’amin Nation. For more information, email adriana@liftcommunityservices.org
