Weekly Grocery Hamper Delivery Program

These are sorted and delivered by volunteers on Thursdays between 12-3pm. If you live in North Park, and would benefit from a hamper, please contact executivedirector@npna.ca.
Thank you to the funders that are making this program possible: First Metropolitan Church, North Park Bicycle Shop, the Foodshare Network, the City of Victoria, The Red Cross, Cobbs Bread, and Modo Care Share.
Thank you to Peter Chalmers, Communications Co-Op Student at First Met Church for making this video about the NPNA’s grocery hamper program!
