Nourish Families

Every meal ordered provides a second meal to a family in need!

Nourish Families was created by a local parent and child therapist at the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis in March 2020. The program works by providing a free meal to a family-in-need for every meal that is purchased by a community member.

From the community purchases, half of the purchase price is a donation that funds our Nourish Families program. The Nourish Families program has expanded to work with hundreds of families a year, providing important, free support to help families develop, learn and grow together. Our families-in-need receive the following supports:

• Locally made freezer meals
• Artisan bread from Okanagan Grocery
• Produce hampers from the Central Okanagan Foodbank and Helen’s Acres
• Early childhood development resources, toys, and activity bags from Childhood Connections Early Learning Toy & Resource Library
• Playful Healing – free children’s therapy services
• Parenting resources and training through Childhood Connections Family Resource Program
• Weekly connection from a Childhood Connections Community Support Worker
