Local Love Food Hubs are one example of how United Way British Columbia adapted quickly to meet community needs during the COVID crisis.
When COVID hit, there was a lot of fear, there was a lot of isolation. People lost their jobs; people lost their food security, and people lost their ability to connect with each other. For a community to be great, it needs to be great for everyone, so we worked quickly to pivot, develop and adapt our programs. During the COVID-19 crisis, the United Way British Columbia:
- Created the Community Builder Program
- Established over 135 Local Love Food Hubs
- Adapted kids and seniors programs
- Supported youth mental wellness programs
Watch the following video to see how donors like you made this work possible. But it’s just a start. The need for action and support is greater now more than ever before – so we can continue our community work. Because you love your community, your neighbours will get the help they need.
