Tackling Food Insecurity Program

One of the key initiatives launched by FOCAS in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was providing food hampers to support communities in need. Through the Canada Emergency Fund for COVID-19, we distributed food hampers to over 3,000 individuals over a period of 16 months, making a significant impact during the early stages of the pandemic. Thanks to an ongoing partnership with the Edmonton Food Bank, we have continued to offer bi-weekly access to food hampers. This initiative has provided vital support to vulnerable community members from diverse ethnic backgrounds, enabling them to collect essential food items for their families.
