👨‍👩‍👧 Family literacy happens during everyday activities.
"Family literacy refers to the way that parents, children, and extended family members use literacy at home and in the community. Family literacy occurs naturally during the routines of daily living and helps children and adults get things done." - Hayden, R. & Sanders, M. (2007)

🥰 It's about conversations, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, recycling, walking outdoors, playing games, and so much more!

👨‍🍳 This Family Literacy Day and Week, celebrate with the theme "Make mealtime family learning time." with free resources:

Last spring we gave away Container Gardens to encourage residents to grow their own food, no matter the space. This winter we offer a herb mix, to demonstrate how to dry and preserve your own food. As with the Container Gardens the Hope Food Collective partnered with Yale First Nation Food Sovereignty program to bring these items to the community. Each mix includes: A locally grown and sourced spice mix, seed packets and a 'how to' guide to support you to grow, dry and preserve your own herbs!

This program is made possible through a Private Donation; thank you for supporting food security in our community!

First Come, first serve. Pick up at EmpowerEd Support Services, Unit D 895 3rd Ave in Hope. If you would like to support or join the Hope Food Collective contact Darla at [email protected] or call 604 860 0510.
