What are London Food Coalition Members?

London Food Coalition (LFC) members are vital partners in our mission to achieve food prosperity across London, Ontario. Our members consist of community organizations, shelters, food banks, outreach programs, and other local agencies committed to providing access to fresh, nutritious food. By rescuing surplus food and redistributing it, LFC members play a crucial role in reducing food waste and supporting those facing food insecurity in our community.

​

What is Membership?

​

As an LFC member, your organization receives essential resources that help support your food programs and services. These include:

• Two weekly food pick-ups: Members receive regular food donations to support their specific needs. Occasionally, surplus food may be available, and members will be notified to arrange additional pick-ups.

• Access to a variety of foods: From fresh produce to non-perishables, dairy, and prepared foods, the food available varies but is carefully selected to support healthy meals for individuals and families.

• Collaboration and support: Members can participate in bi-annual meetings and contribute to LFC initiatives, fostering a collaborative approach to food security in London.

• Storytelling opportunities: Members can opt to be featured on LFC's monthly member's only newsletter and social media platforms, highlighting their impact and the positive outcomes of rescued food donations.

 

The Role of Members

LFC members are more than just recipients of food. They are active participants in building a stronger, healthier community. As a member, your role includes:

​

• Ensuring timely pick-ups: Members are responsible for picking up their food allocations twice a week and arranging alternative solutions if unable to do so.

• Volunteering and supporting operations: Members contribute to LFC’s operations by recruiting volunteers, assisting with logistics, and offering in-kind support such as fuel sponsorships.

• Providing feedback and data: Members share success stories, statistics, and feedback to help the LFC track its impact and continually improve its services.

• Advocacy and engagement: Members are encouraged to attend meetings, serve on committees, and help identify funding opportunities to ensure the sustainability of LFC's mission.​

​

Together, we work towards food prosperity, making a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.
