Hastings Sunrise Community Food Network

N O U R I S H 🥦 Food For Families is one of the region's leading fresh food banks 🍎 ... specializing in high-quality, high-impact food recovery.

Every week, we rescue and redistribute enough surplus food to nourish close to 5,000 people. 🫶

Through our food hub network, we are proud to be part of the local food system by bridging food waste and food insecurity. 🌱

More than food, we are building community, compassion, and connection - for our guests, partners, and volunteers - one week at a time. ☺️
