A Holistic Food and Financial Empowerment Program

The Afro-Caribbean Food Bank Canada Centre  will support the emerging priority of addressing the socio-economic needs of Black communities in Edmonton and surrounding areas through the implementation of “Beyond Food: A Holistic Food and Financial Empowerment Program.” The project responds to the growing need for food security, culturally appropriate supports, and financial literacy among Black and Afro-Caribbean families facing economic hardship and systemic barriers.
Our Beyond Food initiative will strengthen socio-economic security and resilience by ensuring access to culturally relevant food supports while equipping families with the financial knowledge and tools needed to improve long-term stability.
