Food can mean so much more than fuel for the body. It carries our history, strengthens our social bonds, and brings both comfort and joy. That's why culturally preferred foods are so important; they provide not only nourishment, but also a sense of connection and belonging. Whether it's cooking recipes that have been passed down through generations or preparing traditional dishes that connect us to our ancestry, religion, or community.
Unfortunately, culturally preferred foods are not always consistently available through food donations. That's why we were so grateful to receive a grant from the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, which allowed us to provide Atta flour to the families we serve.
Atta flour is a staple ingredient used to make foods such as roti and chapati. By including it in our food hampers, households were able to prepare meals that were meaningful, familiar, and culturally appropriate for their families.
Thank you for helping provide not only nourishment, but also comfort, dignity, and a taste of home.
