Corporate Involvement & Team Building
By partnering with corporations, A Loving Spoonful can extend its reach and impact by accessing new resources, funding, and volunteers to better serve those affected by HIV and co-existing illness.
Developing relationships with corporations
Developing relationships with corporations is an important strategy that helps A Loving Spoonful fulfill its mission and improve the lives of all people affected by HIV and co-existing illness.
Many people with a chronic illness live in circumstances not knowing if their next meal will be accessible. Our program staff and volunteers work with these individuals to ensure they can reduce barriers to food security, feel supported and work towards overall better health outcomes.
In addition to helping individuals and families coping with HIV to live healthy and productive lives, nutritional support helps over the long term with economic stability.
Your Money at Work
A Loving Spoonful delivers 200,000 free, nutritious meals to individuals and families living with HIV and co-existing illness in Metro Vancouver.
Our average meal cost for this program is only $4.89 due to the financial support provided by Vancouver Coastal Health and our donors.
A Loving Spoonful receives 80% of its funding from private donations and grants, rather than government funding.
Administration costs are kept low at A Loving Spoonful with a small team of staff and many more volunteers.
Corporate Involvement
Your donation has a HUGE impact as A Loving Spoonful only receives approximately 20% government funding. By making a corporate donation your leadership is demonstrating the company’s commitment to making a positive change in the very community in which they do business.
Thanks to our dedicated corporate sponsors, A Loving Spoonful has been able to extend its reach, expand programs and provide high quality and nutritious meals to those who are HIV positive. Through their support we have been making a positive impact on the lives of thousands in the Lower Mainland who face barriers to accessing appropriate and good quality food. Unique opportunities for Corporate Sponsorship are available.
