South Vancouver Neighbourhood House Food Security Project

The South Vancouver Neighbourhood House (SVNH) Food Security Project began in January 2011 and is a program funded through United Way of the Lower Mainland’s food security grants.

The project’s goals are to:

• Increase food security for children and seniors in South Vancouver and foster intergenerational learning between the two age groups
• Build skills in gardening, food preparation and preservation and increase knowledge and awareness of food security issues
• Increase access to local healthy and nutritious food for children, seniors and their families

Some of the activities included establishing community kitchens, delivering food security workshops and supporting monthly “pocket markets”.

SVNH celebrates a successful year!
