Food Box program growing
PRINCE GEORGE – Every Thursday, a small army of folks collect everything from farm fresh eggs to leaf lettuce and beets to generate upwards of thirty food boxes.
Warren Sunstrum, a chef by trade, says there are a lot of motivations behind this endeavor.
“Yeah, absolutely. You know, there’s a huge need for food security here. As they say that it takes three days for us to run out of food. So if we’re cut off from anything that’s, you know, it only takes 72 hours until we’re completely out of food. And we saw that during the road closures. It wasn’t even 24 hours and the shelves are bare. So we’re trying to help to build a community in that kind of sense. It’s not just like having food security. That’s a very important thing to you, but like good food, food that’s going to be nutritious, you know,” says Warren Sunstrum with the Foraging Moose Farm.
