Formed in 2011, West End Neighbourhood Food Network is a diverse network of community members and organizations working together for a just, sustainable, and resilient food system in the West End. Join us at our monthly potlucks, skills building workshops, seed and plant swaps, food scrap drop spots (2012-15), community festivals, and at our other activities and projects.
Every Tuesday and Saturday volunteers receive food scraps from hundreds of the 45,000 residents in the West End. The take since June 2012 now totals over 50 tonnes of food scraps for composting to be recycled back into growing, also reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Tuesday evenings (November 4, 11, 18, 25) from 6-7:30 pm & Saturday mornings from 10 am - noon at Gordon Neighbourhood House.
Saturday mornings from 10 am - noon at West End Community Centre. (November 1, 8, 15, 22, 29).
Ongoing.
Food Scrap Drop Spots are run entirely by volunteers. If you can help by volunteering for one or more shifts per month, please contact Ross at ross@villagevancouver.ca.
