02 Nov IGA of BC donates 1 million meals to vulnerable people in our communities
Since FoodMesh and IGA of BC joined forces to give food a second chance back in April 2020, their 22 stores have collectively donated the equivalent of 1 million meals to people in our communities. We would like to congratulate them on reaching this outstanding milestone!
Theresa Contois from Cedar Feast House Catering – one of IGA’s donation recipients – said of their support: “I am so thankful and appreciate what the folks at IGA are doing – aside from feeding those in need, they are also keeping my people busy with experiences to work and learn.”
1 million meals donated means that IGA of BC has:
kept 597,346 KG of unsalable food out of waste streams
saved 1,537,896 KG of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphereA huge congratulations to everyone who participates in this program for being food rescue heroes!
