Food Asset Maps

VCH public health dietitians partnered with Vancouver Neighbourhood Food Networks, North Shore Table Matters Network, Squamish Food Policy Council, UBC Land and Food Systems students and instructors, the City of Vancouver and Fresh Roots to create Food Asset Maps. The maps below highlight food assets located in local communities.

*Community food security exists when "… all community residents obtain a safe, personally acceptable, nutritious diet through a sustainable food system that maximizes healthy choices, community self-reliance and equal access for everyone" (Hamm and Bellows, 2003)

This map will continue to be improved and updated with the help of community members and partners. If you would like to add an asset to the Vancouver map, please email vchfam@gmail.com with the following information about the asset: Full name, website name and URL, phone number, email, and physical address, including postal code.

Richmond Public Health, in partnership with Richmond Food Security Society, UBC Land and Food Systems, and the City of Richmond, developed this food asset map. The Richmond Food Asset Map listings are no longer up-to-date, so please confirm by phone any food assets you wish to visit. Please use this temporary "Richmond Emergency Food Asset Map" for the current status of Emergency food services in Richmond. As services can change quickly, consider contacting the organizations or stores to confirm their hours or delivery/pick-up options. If you notice any needed updates, please email us at rfamap@gmail.com.
