Food services:

Food Share: The Food Share Program is aimed at providing food to those in need in the Comox Valley, including those in need of financial and/or food delivery assistance. This program also provides a pick-up of donated food items from businesses, local farmers and food producers, for redistribution through our Good Food Boxes or used in our Hot Meal Programs.

To access emergency food support, individuals are asked to complete an online form (one form per household). Those without internet access can call our Emergency Food Share Helpline at 250-207-HELP (4357), where a volunteer will help them to complete the form

The Fruit Tree and Farm Gleaning Program: Utilizes volunteers to harvest and redistribute thousands of pounds of fresh fruit and produce from homes, farms and orchards that would otherwise go to waste, and re-distributes the produce back to the community. The program increases access to fresh local produce for people who need it, decreases food waste and emissions, and decreases bears and other animal attractants.

The Harvest Community Garden: provides a safe and nurturing place where families and individuals who don’t have access to garden space can grow food for themselves, their family and/or their community.

Healthy Foods Program: Offers a wide range of cooking programs and food skill classes for community members of all ages, experiences and backgrounds.

Lush Valley is developing a Food Delivery Program.


Please note the subsidized and no-cost Good Food Box streams are currently at capacity. Please fill in the application form to join the wait list for a subsidized or no-cost registration in the program.
