Souls Harbour Rescue Mission received $20,000 for emergency food aid in the wake of COVID-19. The Good Food Access Fund Grant is helping Souls Harbour Rescue Mission to safely provide healthy meals to those in need. Regina, Sask, June 17, 2020 – Souls Harbour Rescue Mission is pleased to announce that is has received a grant for $20,000 from Community Food Centres Canada’s Good Food Access Fund. The grant enables Souls Harbour Rescue Mission to increase the level of care to society's most marginalized population. Funding is provided in part by the Government of Canada’s Local Food Infrastructure Fund, as part of the Food Policy for Canada. The Fund aims to strengthen food systems and facilitate access to safe and nutritious food for at-risk populations. "Food insecurity was already an urgent problem before the COVID-19 crisis, with 1 in 8 Canadians struggling to put food on the table. In a time of national crisis, it is in our nature as Canadians to do what we can for our most vulnerable neighbors. We are grateful to the Government of Canada for their quick response, as well as the many corporate partners and generous donors who have stepped forward" says Nick Saul, CEO of Community Food Centres Canada. "The Good Food Access Fund aims to make sure that as many people as possible will be able to get the food that they need. And while we must deal with the current circumstances, CFCC remains committed to advancing policy change that addresses the underlying causes of food insecurity and poverty in Canada. We can't forget that structural inequity is at the core of so many of the challenges that Canadians face, a fact which painfully confronts us when an emergency like this occurs." Community Food Centres Canada (CFCC) builds health, belonging and social justice in low income communities through the power of food. We work with 13 Community Food Centres and 183 Good Food Organizations in 175 Communities across Canada. Our Good Food Access Fund was established to provide emergency relief during this time of national crisis to our most vulnerable neighbors. Learn more at cfccanada.ca or follow @aplaceforfood.
