Good Food Box

A group-buying program that helps bring affordable fresh fruits and vegetables to our community. Please read below to learn how we're adapting the program during the pandemic.

The Good Food Box is available to people who are low-income, have been adversely impacted by COVID-19, or are immune-compromised, or in isolation, or unable to access family or other supports.

Foodshare is able to offer a low-cost, and no-cost option. Ordering is open from Thursday through Wednesday at 4 pm for a Good Food Box the following week.

Have questions? Please email gfb@nanaimofoodshare.ca.

Low-cost Option

Foodshare is able to use bulk-buying to provide low-cost boxes of fruits and vegetables to the community for $10.

No-cost Option

If $10 is a barrier for you to have a box, you can request a no-cost box through our Gift of Healthy Eating program.
