    Rethinking Food Charity
    While food banks have become one of the most visible responses to food insecurity in Canada and worldwide, Executive Director of Feed Nova Scotia Ash Avery, along with Sue Keheller, Director of Community Partnerships, Innovation, & Advocacy, explore what food banks mean for the future of food insecurity in their recent paper titled Rethinking Food Charity: The Rise and Limits of Food Banks in Addressing Food Insecurity.
  • Coast2Coast: Darcy’s Run
    On July 27, 2026, Darcy Eygun began the unfathomable: become the first person to run across Nova Scotia, from Cape North all the way down to Baccaro Point. In total, this meant over 1,000 kilometers, a distance he completed in just 23 days. The best part of all? The entire run was support of Feed Nova Scotia.

Feed Nova Scotia and the network of members are located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq Peoples, and we acknowledge them as past, present, and future caretakers of this land. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq, Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. We are all Treaty people.

We acknowledge that African Nova Scotians have existed and persisted on the traditional land of the Mi’kmaq for more than 400 hundred years and their significant presence has contributed to the existence of Nova Scotia.

We are grateful to live and work in Mi’kma’ki.
