We had our largest Good Food Box week ever! Our AMAZING volunteers packed 708 boxes yesterday , that is 8810 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables out in the community. We would never be able to do what we do without our volunteers who come out, no matter the weather and help us help the community. If you are interested in volunteering, please email [email protected] ... #nanaimo #nanaimofoodshare #eatlcoal #supportlocal #localfoodmatters #goodfoodbox #volunteernanaimo

The Good Food Box is looking for volunteers! Our amazing Good Food Box volunteers help us pack over 500 bags of fresh produce every week. If you are available Thursdays from 8:30 am - 12:30 pm and are interested in volunteering with us please email [email protected] or call 778-744-3250. Please note, we move over 5000 lbs of food each week so there is a quite a bit of heavy lifting involved.... #nanaimo #nanaimofoodshare #localfoodmatters #eatlocal #supportlocal #eathealthy
