Organization of the Month: Nelson Community Food Centre

We all get by with a little help from our friends – especially around the holidays. Meet Andrew, Development Director at Nelson Community Food Centre (@nelsoncommunityfoodcentre). Andrew, the staff and volunteers at NCFC provide food + community programming to hundreds of people and families in our town.


The NCFC strives to create a welcoming environment where people can access healthy food, join a cooking or gardening program, and be a part of a community centered on nutritious food and fun social activities. The Good Food Bank, Food Skills, Garden and Harvest Rescue programs are all focused on their mission – to create opportunities for people facing adversity to share, connect and advocate around good food.
