OUR MISSION
To lead the way in food recovery by rescuing surplus food, distributing it to those in need, and advocating for sustainable solutions that eliminate food waste and hunger, thus enhancing food security for vulnerable populations. Our goal for the next two years is to establish 'Food Security Through Zero Food Waste' as a pilot project in Coquitlam, promoting sustainable urban food systems and ensuring access to nutritious meals for our community.
Everyone deserves the dignity of a full plate
We turn rescued food into opportunity — nourishing families, seniors, newcomers, and others facing barriers to healthy meals. By putting good food back into our community, we help reduce hardship and promote well-being across the Lower Mainland.
PREVENT FOOD WASTE
Every meal saved is a resource preserved — for both people and the planet. At Food Link Society, we rescue surplus food from grocery stores and deliver it the same day to those who need it most. By keeping good food out of landfills, we reduce environmental harm and ensure every edible item finds a purpose.
REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT
Every pound of food rescued helps keep methane out of landfills and carbon out of the air. Thanks to our same-day food recovery system, Food Link Society has prevented 5.41 million pounds of CO_ -equivalent emissions, reducing pollution and protecting our planet with every delivery.
CREATE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteering isn’t just about giving back. It’s about belonging. At Food Link Society, our volunteer program connects people through purpose. Whether you’re a newcomer looking to gain experience or a local wanting to make an impact, we provide opportunities to contribute meaningfully. Volunteers support food sorting, delivery, and community engagement, building stronger, more connected communities while reducing food waste and food insecurity.
