Galiano Club Community Food Programs

The Galiano Club founded the Community Food Program in March, 2008 after receiving funding from VanCity, the Vancouver Foundation, and the Victoria Foundation to hire volunteer coordinators for various community food programs. The Vancouver Island Health Authority currently funded a project focused on gleaning teams, establishing a Farmers' Institute, developing a meals program and hosting an all Islands Food Security Conference. In addition, the Food Program has received funding from New Horizons for Seniors (Government of Canada) for our Food Forever Project and a commercial freezer for the Seniors' Soup Program. In late spring 2011, United Way of Greater Victoria approved our application for a Seniors' Soup Garden at the Community School along with a fruit tree mapping project involving students and elders.
