The People’s Pantry, Port Coquitlam
With your help, Amplify Vancouver is showcasing Local businesses all over the Lower Mainland who are amping up their neighbourhood!
The People’s Pantry Food Recovery Society aims to reduce food waste by collecting surplus food from retailers and distributing the food at no cost to individuals or families on a weekly basis with their food hampers. All the food they recover is healthy and free, with the added benefit of being diverted from the landfill.
They are a non-profit group born out of the pandemic, the rising cost of food, and the challenge for many facing the difficult decision between housing and food. Their goal is to reduce the amount of food that goes into our landfills everyday and to tackle food insecurity in the community.
Located at 2272 Leigh Square PL in Port Coquitlam
