Canadian Food for Children Co-Workers, B. C. Division

1. Purchased Food:
   • We buy peas, oatmeal, lentils, soy beans etc. from Saskatchewan and Alberta at a reduced rate.
   • Another volunteer contact secures food at greatly reduced costs from overstocked warehouses or damaged shipping containers or train derailments.




2. Reclaimed Food:
   We also pick up on a weekly basis, from a large food distributor, pierced or broken bags of flour, sugar, salt, etc. which are repackaged in lined wine boxes for shipment.
3. Plastic Pails from Stores with Bulk Food Departments:
   These are collected by volunteers and the pails scraped for left over peanut butter, jam etc. Then smaller plastic jars or containers are filled with the peanut butter or jam etc. and shipped. Finally, the pails are washed and sent in shipping containers to be used as water pails or buckets to distribute the 100 pound sacks of food in that shipment.
