The group is looking to hear from community groups and organizations interested in becoming a Pick-up location and are accepting proposals.
Food First NL will be working on a number of initiatives for 2024, including an expansion of the WesternNL Food hub. The group delivered their annual community update online last week. CEO Jason Smee says their mission is to advance the rights of food in NL. He says last year was tough with a continued food crisis and rise in food prices. Smee says more than 22 percent of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are food insecure. He says they opened a new food hub in Corner Brook last year, which is growing. The group is looking to hear from community groups and organizations interested in becoming a Pick-up location and are accepting proposals. The goal is to add 6-8 additional pick up points within a two hour radius of Corner Brook. Smee says they expect to see big steps this year towards the right to food, especially in schools. The deadline to apply to become a pick up location is March 15th. For more information email foodhub@foodfirstnl.ca
