Zia aims to combat the food insecurity of schoolchildren by providing nutritious meal kits to their families on a weekly basis. Zia was started in 2015 when its founder partnered with a local elementary school to cook for families in need. Staffed by generous and caring volunteers, Zia expanded to opening a food pantry in that same school, providing 8-10 meals a month to nearly 40 member families. Zia switched to a delivery model so that we can serve even more families. Zia runs entirely on volunteers and has volunteer opportunities on Friday and Saturday mornings.

Friday Morning 9-11AM: Produce/ Grocery Transport (need a vehicle)
Saturday Morning. 9-11AM: Pantry Packer (no vehicle needed)

After an interactive session on food security and the impact of the volunteering experience, you’ll roll up your sleeves and get on the road. Led by the FoodFilled staff, you’ll have hands-on experience in rescuing surplus food from local retailers (such as supermarkets, bakeries, or cafes). Then, you’ll go on a supermarket scavenger hunt to calculate the cost of the food rescued. Finally, you’ll have the powerful opportunity to hand-deliver the rescued food straight to charities supporting local vulnerable people. All logistics and preparation will be organised by FoodFilled. To conclude, we will join back at the FF workspace to debrief, reflect, and recap the huge impact you’ve made.

Scheduling Flexibility: Shift time, duration, and quantity can be customised to fit your team’s availability, including options for concurrent shifts or longer day engagements for larger groups. The number of staff members engaging in this activity can vary too.

According to Statistics Canada, in spring 2024, nearly half (45%) of Canadians reported that rising prices were greatly affecting their ability to meet day-to-day expenses, 12 percentage points higher than what it was two years earlier (33%). Rising prices have a disproportionate impact on lower-income people in Canada. Rising prices are affecting the ability of Canadians to meet their day-to-day expenses, their concerns with housing affordability, the likelihood that they will obtain food or meals from community organizations, their financial stress, and the relationship between financial stress and quality of life. While food banks are facing an increased number of users, various shelters across cities do need help too with providing meals to its users. If you wish to volunteer your time to this program or gain volunteer hours, please email us at info@sewacanada.com.

*** NOTE:
Those interested in volunteering for Sewa Canada International are encouraged to write to us by email, small project ideas which can help society in terms of health, education and other necessities of life locally in India, Canada, Nepal or any other location. Email us at info@sewacanada.com.

Goal: Sewa Canada International has launched its 'Feed the Hungry in Canada' program in a few cities across Canada and aims to do more every month in more cities across Canada. The program involves providing:-

1. Hot meals prepared by our volunteers to the needy.
2. Dry food donations by our volunteers to the needy.

While most of the intended beneficiaries are the underprivileged and needy at shelters or missions in various cities, we will also attempt to address seniors in need or international students who may need help with dry food donations.

So far we have provided this service in Toronto, London, Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver and aim to recruit new volunteers in other cities to carry out this service. We partner with other charities to deliver these meals.

A hot meal with fruit, bread, cookies/chips, its packaging and delivery can cost up to $5 per person. Please DONATE generously to help us feed the underprivileged in Canada. You may also direct your donations to a specific city of your choice by indicating the name of the city in the message field while making the donation. All donations are tax deductible in Canada. Tax receipts will be issued automatically.
