Don't Go Hungry, a Community Food Pantry.
A Trinity Presbyterian Church mission that grew from a 2019 summer pilot into a weekly Saturday food program, now serving 1600 to 1800 people with hamper delivery and fresh produce partnerships. The Journey Society project added social media videos, policy briefs, and databases for managing clients, donations, and vendors so volunteers can focus on neighbours feeding neighbours.
Don’t Go Hungry is a compassionate, community based food support program serving neighbours in New Westminster and Burnaby. As a mission of Trinity Presbyterian Church, the program partners with local organizations and a wide network of volunteers to provide reliable access to nutritious food with dignity and care. What began in 2019 as a small summer initiative quickly grew into a weekly Saturday response, meeting a gap for working families and expanding further during COVID 19.
Today, the program supports 1600 to 1800 people every Saturday, alongside hamper delivery for those unable to travel, and seasonal fresh produce grown through community gardens and local farm partnerships. To strengthen this work, the Journey Society supported Don’t Go Hungry with storytelling and systems. We produced social media videos to amplify the mission and invite participation, developed policy briefs to clarify program practices and partnerships, and built practical databases to help manage clients, donations, and vendors so volunteers can focus on what matters most, neighbours feeding neighbours.
