Refood Mission
Did You Know
Did you know that in a recent
article from CBC concluded that
Canada wastes more than $31
billion worth of food? That is
devastating to hear, especially
when Vancouver is at a total count
of 1,798 homeless people. A core
issue is Canadians buying food
with the intention of using it but in
the end, they never do. Not only
that but retailers throw away over
30% of fruits and vegetables
before it makes it to the stores
because of menial things like
bruising etc.

The mission of
Refood is to
e n c o u r a g e
healthy lifestyles
with products and
services that are
widely available and
informative, allowing
con
sumers to make better lifestyle
choices.
We at Refood advocate
sustainability by taking unpurchased
food from grocery stores and
repurposing it, resulting in a lighter
environmental footprint.
We are working with students of
New Westminister. Refood plans to
educate youths by providing them
with opportunities to learn more
about food wastage and how to
achieve healthy lifestyles.
To this end, we are currently
working on catering programs for
food shelters, low income seniors
and schools; we plan to expand in the
future.
