BACKGROUND

Islands Wellness Society adopted the food bank during the summer of 2013. It has been a tremendous undertaking and we want to acknowledge all the people who have worked tirelessly to make it a viable service to the communities of Haida Gwaii. Our mission is to “Feed the People” who need a little extra help along the way.

We work with Gwaii Co-op, and City Centre stores, as well as other local food programs and gardeners to provide as much fresh food and produce as we can.

A big haw’aa to Gwaii Trust and to everyone for the help and support! It takes a community to raise a child, but it also takes that whole community working together to make it thrive!
