VV's been very active around food resiliency over the past 13 years through our Neighbourhood Food Networks. Focusing on 4 areas: Action, Education, Planning (the Community Food Resiliency component of our Energy Descent Action Plan), and Collaboration. As a Transition Town Hub and Initiative, WE CULTIVATE COMMUNITY, WE GROW FOOD, WE HELP BUILD A MORE RESILIENT, JUST, AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM.
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.
