The Humanity Project - Feed the Community

Feed the Community began in the summer of 2015 when members of The Humanity Project and What Kids Need Moncton came together to fill a major food security gap. Although there are soup kitchens and food banks in the community, they are unable to sufficiently provide for members of our community who are struggling to provide for themselves, and their families. Especially critical was during a 2 week period when local soup kitchens and food banks were both closed. Both organizations began receiving messages from many community members asking if there was any help that could be provided. The initial goal was simply to provide meals during this 2 week period, and volunteers began serving their first meals from the parking lot of a local gas station. This is when the true depth of the problem was realized. The availability of meals is of particular concern for the members of our community who are homeless. The inability to access a food bank without an address, as well as a lack of necessary means to cook or refrigerate food is a reality for the homeless population. This inevitably leads to complete reliance on soup kitchens to provide for nutritional needs. Unfortunately, the soup kitchens that were available in our community were only open Monday through Friday during the lunch hour. This left a gap for suppers and weekends. Several churches in the area alternate providing a supper meal on Sundays, as they had also noticed that there was a gap in services.
