Food Security Initiative
We know our service is beyond the reach of many individuals and families. It is an unfortunate reality of our society that food that is cheaply and conveniently available is not made with a balanced and healthy diet in mind. Inspired by local organizations like Community Fridges in Halifax and Dartmouth, Mobile Food Market, Square Roots, and Hope Blooms, we want to do our small part in making healthy food more accessible.
We'd like to introduce our new Food Security Initiative. Every week for 3 months, we will supply a family with 2 breakfast jars, 3 lunch jars, 1 skillet jar, and a pack of protein bites (or equivalent - approximately $80 value).
To be considered for this initiative, please email us at urbanjarshalifax@gmail.com with the subject line Food Security Initiative. In your email, please outline how receving this initiative would make a difference to you. No proof of hardship is required, however, we would like choose someone based on highest need so please share as much information as you feel comfortable.
We will deliver jars to your home or work, within our delivery area, for the next 3 months, at which time we will offer the initiative to someone else.
If you would like to support this initiative and help us offer it to a second family or individual, you can send an e-transfer at any time to urbanjarshalifax@gmail.com and include in the memo what it is for - or click the button below! When we have received enough to cover 3 months worth of jars, we will add another family to the initiative.
