Are you a food retailer who wants to serve your community even better? Great things in store aims to improve access to high quality and affordable foods communities across Newfoundland and Labrador.
Participating retailers will receive funding, extensive staff support from Food First NL, and access to a wide variety expertise to new food related product through their retail space.
Food First NL staff will work directly with each retailer and the communities they serve to identify opportunities to do something new or different to improve food access.
With what knowledge in hand, they will co-sign a pilot project, try it out together, and evaluate what works and what needs to change.
They imagine that each retail food pilot project will look different, depending on what comes from conversations with the community with the community and retailer. We want retailers and communities to dream big!
You can learn more about the project, what participating retailers will receive and who on the Great Things in the Store website.
We welcome applications from food retailers across NL. Be sure to apply online by Friday, September 30, 2022.
Any questions about the project can be sent to Program Coordinator, Carla Saunders at Carla @foodfirstnl.ca.
We can’t wait to work with you to help your business and community thrive.
