The Mustard Seed
The Food Security Distribution Centre rescues and receives over 10,000 pounds of food each weekday from over 30 local grocery stores and donors, and safely distributes it via 60+ local social service agencies, positively impacting the estimated 70,000 food insecure individuals in our region.
The FSDC provides space for Flourish! School Food Society to prepare, aggregate and distribute 1,100 hot meals and 2,500 snack servings of food per school day across 30 schools.
In partnership with the Food Share Network, we are progressively reducing both food insecurity and greenhouse gas emissions in the Greater Victoria area.
