WHY FOOD SECURITY?
Food is what keeps us nourished and healthy, connected to community and to land. However, not everyone can access healthy, culturally safe food every day. The CRFSN's mission is to connect individuals with the food supports they need - and you can be a part of it!
There are numerous ways to be a part of combating food insecurity. Volunteering with some of the wonderful programs hosted by the CRFSN's member organizations is just one way to start.
