Share the Harvest, Helping Families Access Fresh Local Food

Share the Harvest is a flagship food access initiative developed by the Cape Breton Food Hub in 2019. The program enables community members facing food insecurity to access healthy, locally grown food- dignified, fresh, and free of stigma.

Through donations, grants, and partnerships, we provide weekly credits to families screened into the program through an application process, which entitle them to purchase food sourced directly from Cape Breton producers. The program not only nourishes vulnerable individuals and families but also invests in local agriculture and keeps money circulating in our island economy. Since its inception in 2019, hundreds of families, including many children and senior citizens, have been able to access the program, supporting themselves as well as the producers they are purchasing from.

Join Us

Together, we can build a stronger Cape Breton, where everyone has access to nutritious food, and local farms can thrive. We would love to meet with your team to explore this opportunity and answer any questions.
