Immigrant Link Centre Society

Immigrant Link Centre Society, based in Coquitlam, British Columbia, has evolved from a non-profit organization into a charity with a clear mission: to reduce food waste, protect the environment, and support low-income families and newcomers. With a diverse team of volunteers from various countries, their focus is on recovering surplus food, distributing it to those in need, and advocating for sustainable solutions that enhance food security for vulnerable populations.

The society's efforts extend to preventing food waste by recovering and redistributing unsold food to community members in need, addressing food insecurity for over 4,500 individuals bi-weekly at multiple locations across the Lower Mainland. Their initiatives also contribute to reducing carbon footprint by preventing millions of kilograms of CO2-equivalent emissions through food recovery activities, alongside creating volunteer opportunities for individuals to engage with their communities.

Through their commitment to providing nutritious food to those in need and promoting sustainable urban food systems, Immigrant Link Centre Society strives to improve the quality of life for thousands of individuals, foster community connections, and make a tangible impact on food security and waste reduction in Coquitlam and beyond.
