Are you a lover of the Finest Beer?Illustration of Wheat

Community

Beer has been at the centre of community since the outset of civilization. We have gathered and shared conversation, broken bread, played music and games, danced and occasionally shed a tear or two. This is at the heart of why we do all this. We make beer to add to life’s enjoyment. It’s simple, really.

We’ve been told that we give a lot back to our community. That’s not exactly how we see it. We are just doing what feels right to do. Lots of companies give back. And so they should. We do our part because we care and because we can. We’re all in this together.

The Gift of Good Food

The Gift of Good Food is an annual holiday fundraiser organized by Fernwood Neighbourhood Resource Group (Fernwood NRG). Every year, they raise money to support families facing food insecurity across Greater Victoria with fresh fruits and vegetables for an entire year.

To do this, their Good Food Box program bulk purchases fresh produce from local farmers and distributors and works with over 20 volunteers to pack and distribute the boxes. The Gift of Good Food partners with the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations and 16 community centres, transition houses, refugee service agencies, and grassroots food justice collectives to reach families they work with.

Their goal is to raise $150,000.00, which would support over 200 families across Greater Victoria for all of 2024.

Learn more at thegiftofgoodfood.ca/donate. The fundraising campaign launches November 14 and runs until December 31, 2023.
