United Way BC launches Food Appeal amid surging costs

United Way BC is seeking donations to combat rising food insecurity, and support development of a new regional community food hub in Prince George.

They said half a million people in BC don’t have enough to eat every day, with that number growing, and are launching a Food Appeal.

This aims to support communities across the province, including Prince George in 2025/2026, with every dollar staying local, supporting local food programs.

Last year, United Way BC Regional Food Hubs provided over 3.2 million meals and 936,000 food hampers across the province.

They noted that donations made to the Food Appeal will support the PG Food Hub development, local food programs, and Food Link which helps deliver food and basic necessities.

More information can be found on United Way BC’s website here.
