Michelle Scott, the communications and development manager for the <\/span>Wood Buffalo Food Bank, <\/span><\/a>recalls the lightbulb moment that cemented the importance of having culturally relevant food available for their clients. A gentleman from North Africa was given a generic food hamper and he had to ask what the dried bag of pasta was, and what to do with it. \u201cHow unfair is it for us,\u201d says Scott, \u201cto say we are doing things to feed everyone in the community but yet people we are feeding don\u2019t know what they are eating.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wood Buffalo Food Bank, in Fort McMurray, Alberta, fed 15,000 clients in 2021\/22. According to Scott, the region is a hub for newcomers to Canada, and she estimates that at least half of the food bank’s clients are unfamiliar with Western food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Scott\u2019s realization underscores a significant challenge faced by food banks and pantries across North America: Food is more than just fuel for the body. It carries deep significance that connects individuals to their beliefs and heritage. Food banks, though, are non-profit entities and, like the rest of us, are challenged by the high cost of food. This often means that they buy calorie-rich inexpensive products: canned soups, tinned fish, or dried pasta. But, these foods are not always the only foods people want.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feedback received by the the <\/span>Ottawa Food Bank<\/span><\/a> from a pilot project conducted between 2019 and 2020 indicated a desire for ethnocultural vegetables, such as okra, a traditional staple in African diets, to be available at food banks. Now, the food bank grows okra on its farm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar data was revealed in a report by the<\/span> Food Bank of the Rockies<\/span><\/a>, which found that individuals visiting food pantries that don\u2019t offer cultural food preferences often feel stigmatized, unwelcome and unwilling to return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recognizing the importance of culturally relevant food, Dan Edwards, executive director of the Wood Buffalo Food Bank, shared how it has always tried to incorporate specific items into its hampers. \u201cWe\u2019ve made sure to add supplies for Bannock, a traditional Indigenous food, when it\u2019s within our budget and capacity,\u201d says Edwards. Items such as corn flour, Halal meat, lentils and spices are now added to food hampers if requested.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Newton, Massachusetts, the<\/span> Newton Food Pantry<\/span><\/a> (NFP) started offering culturally relevant foods during the early days of the pandemic. \u201cWe offered things like celery, garlic, ginger, tofu, and Russian cheese,\u201d says Sindy Wayne, board president of the food bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flash forward to 2024: Client registration forms and intake reflect a significant percentage of food pantry clients as Russian\/Ukrainian, Chinese (Mandarin\/Cantonese speaking), and Hispanic\/Latino (Spanish speaking). Each month, the NFP receives funding from corporate sponsors for 100 percent of the purchase of ethnically appropriate food.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Our hope is that, by offering culturally relevant food, our clients know that we see them beyond their need for food,\u201d says Denise Daniels, pantry manager at the Newton Food Pantry. \u201cIn their time of need, we hope they will create familiarity and a sense of home through their meals.\u201d <\/span>Part of why clients return to the food bank is that it supplies food items with which they are familiar and like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of those returning clients, Daniels recalls, was a woman from Guatemala who noticed that the pantry was stocking a cassava-based cracker. Excited to find an item she was familiar with from her home country, she has returned multiple times to the pantry. The pantry also stocks buckwheat flour and eggplant spread for recently immigrated Russian\/Ukrainian clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeding America<\/span><\/a> reports that of the 47 million people in 2023 who experienced food insecurity, 14 million self-identified as Latino, and more than <\/span>nine million<\/span><\/a> Black Americans could not access enough food to lead healthy active lives. In Canada, <\/span>Statistics Canada<\/span><\/a> reports that 28.6 percent of Canada\u2019s Indigenous population 15 years old and older (excluding those living on reserve and in Canada\u2019s three northern territories) experienced food insecurity at some point in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many different cultures throughout the United States,\u201d says Molly Kern, chief executive officer of the<\/span> SLO Food Bank<\/span><\/a> in San Luis Obispo County, California. \u201cWhat mattered most to us was listening to our community and understanding what their needs were.\u201d Staff at the food bank spoke with nearly 350 community members, finding out what challenges they had accessing food, and, most importantly, what role food plays in their lives. The feedback they received was incorporated into the food bank\u2019s 2023-2028 strategic plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless of cultural background, a big trend was looking for fresh fruits and vegetables,\u201d says Kern. In San Luis Obispo county, the<\/span> population<\/span><\/a> is slightly over 280,000. Between 2010 and 2022, the Hispanic\/Latino community grew 3.3 percent to become almost a quarter of the area\u2019s overall population at 24.1 percent. Dried beans, fresh chilis, onions, and tomatillos, as well as fresh tortillas, are items familiar to Latino traditions and rank high on the list of foods that are available on food pantry shelves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe measure satisfaction by how fast things fly off our shelves,\u201d says Kern. \u201cAnd when people know you are listening to them and caring for them, and working to improve,it builds trust.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
