About Nelson Community Food Centre
Nelson Community Food Centre runs four programs: Food Skills, Garden, Good Food Bank, and the Gathering Table.
We allow people to come to our food bank as often as they need and don’t ask them to justify their need for our services. We respect their rights to privacy and dignity and aim to create a welcoming and safe atmosphere for all. We serve over 1,200 people every month and aim to meet their diverse family and dietary needs with healthy foods. Our program participants come from Nelson and the surrounding towns and rural areas. Nearly one-quarter are children, and 13% are seniors.
