A volunteer group in Yarmouth County is trying to make positive changes to the food insecurity landscape in Yarmouth County.

The Acts of Kindness Society has grown from cooking crock‑pot meals in a church parking lot to distributing dozens of frozen soups every week, stocking numerous food pantries and delivering thousands of portions across three counties.

Their frozen‑meal program is giving older adults, working families and people living alone a reliable, ready‑to‑heat option - and the demand keeps rising.

“It feels good to be able to do it. It’s the most rewarding thing but it’s just so sad that it’s needed.”
