Fork in the Road
Cass, a 16 year old high school student with a belief that everyone should have access to healthy, reliable food, set off to solo-hike the entirety of the East Coast Trails in Newfoundland -- a whole 336km. All money raised will be donated to the Community Food Sharing Association.
​
Nobody should be held back by food insecurity. This is my goal and whole hearted belief. With every $10 donated, the CFSA leverages $205 worth of food to those in need. Every donation -- regardless of size -- is impactful.

CFSA Partnership
We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with belairdirect with a donation of $150,000. Over the next two years, this commitment will enable us to source, purchase and distribute over $1 million worth of food to 60 food banks throughout the province. We have already made an impact with a portion of the donation contributing to the holiday hamper program last year with hampers full of food distributed to over 300 families across our province.
As visits to food banks are on the rise, this new partnership with belairdirect will help bring additional help to families and members of our community in need.

Food Bank usage throughout Newfoundland and Labrador on a per capita basis continues to be among the highest in Canada.
