Origin Story

How We Started

In mid-2022, the founder of Feed the West Coast (FTWC) stood at a pivotal moment. Witnessing the large amounts of food wastage within the food industry, he knew it was time for a change. Fueled by a profound commitment to make a difference in British Columbia, he established Feed the West Coast in May 2023. This non-profit organization emerged with a clear purpose: to address food insecurity and support local food banks through strategic partnerships and donees. Guided by a vision of a sustainable and nourished future, FTWC embarked on a journey looking to bring about a transformative impact and bring hope to the lives of those facing food insecurity.

From inception to action, FTWC has become a force of change in BC’s fight against hunger. We invite you to stand with us and be the driving force that leads us closer to our vision of a hunger-free community. Together, we’ll continue to nourish hearts, minds, and bodies with the power of compassion and food. Join the movement and let’s create a better future together!
