The BC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program helps thousands of British Columbians access fresh, local food – but demand continues to outpace funding. This Giving Tuesday, you can help us reach even more people in need.
The need for the BC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program continues to grow. Each year, more households reach out hoping to join, and community partners tell us they could serve hundreds more if funding allowed.
In 2025, we’ve already heard from over 60 partner organizations who want to join, and there are more than 1200 individuals and families on waiting lists across BC – all hoping for access to fresh, nutritious food from their local farmers’ markets.
This is our second year running a Giving Tuesday campaign, and thanks to your incredible support last year, we were able to extend the program to even more families. This year, our goal is to raise $10,000 to support 23 more households – families, seniors, and pregnant people – with weekly coupons for locally grown food.

“Participants have shared overwhelmingly positive feedback about the program. One family expressed their appreciation by noting that their children are now able to eat significantly more fresh fruit thanks to the coupons—something they said wouldn’t have been possible otherwise”
Every dollar you donate goes directly into nutrition coupons that connect people with fresh, local food. With around 86% of all coupons redeemed, your donation makes an immediate and lasting impact. Plus, your support has double the impact – it helps feed a family in need and directly supports BC farmers and food producers.
