kitskitchen and The Juice Truck charity

‘Tis the Season…of PAYING IT FORWARD!

In October, we went to a long table Thanksgiving dinner that was hosted by our good friend Alex (owner of The Juicery Co) and FAM&Co. It was there that we met Ron Suzuki, the driving force (his official title is Community Recreation Director) behind the Strathcona Community Centre’s efforts of planning – and implementation of – food and recreational programs that support the children of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side.

It was also there that we were made aware of the need of food security and after school recreational programs for the children of the DTES.

Did you know that 2,000 children in Vancouver aren’t getting enough food every day?

We didn’t. With the cost of living at being one of the highest in the world, Vancouver can be challenging to live in. But no one, especially children who will grow up to shape the future of our community, should have to go hungry, to show up at school tired, unfocused, agitated.

Since 1972, Ron has been an active leader of the Backpack Program, designed to organize, and supply, meals to children who come from families needing government support.

The Facts

  • British Columbia lacks a poverty reduction plan and maintains the highest rates of child poverty in Canada. This is one of the most expensive places to live in the world and minimum wages do not support costs of living for thousands of families.
  • Impoverished children in Vancouver rarely get 3 meals in a day.
  • Approximately 2,000 children go hungry every day in Vancouver.
  • Another 1.7 million dollars is needed to support emergency food programs, and charitable donations are the only source organized for this.

Juicery-kitskitchen-for-blogOn December 10th, join us to support the children of the Downtown East Side!

So here are the deets!

To drive donations, hot kitskitchen™ soup will be sold at The Juice Truck, The Juicery Co and Nectar Juicery, in Vancouver and North Vancouver.

Come down to one of our partner’s locations (below) to join us to support this cause!!! We guarantee it’ll be the best bowl of soup you’ll ever have because you know you’re helping to nourish children in need with healthy food!

100% of the proceeds from the sales will be donated to the Strathcona Community Centre.

Ron says that they will use the donations to implement an after school healthy snack program, which currently supports 215 children (and growing).
