Mosaic Supports Coastal Food Banks

Nanaimo, BC — Mosaic Forest Management is announcing support for 21 food banks across Coastal British Columbia, providing donations totalling $15,000 directly to food banks from Haida Gwaii, the Sunshine Coast and across Vancouver Island. The company will also match employee donations up to $50 per employee to the local food bank in their communities.

The economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis mean that food banks in BC are reporting significantly higher demand, with estimates ranging from 15 – 25 percent increases in visitors. Mosaic’s donation will help to fill this critical need and support our communities and neighbours during this challenging time.

“As we collectively work to fight COVID-19, there are many people in our communities who are facing significant challenges in making ends meet,” said Jeff Zweig, Mosaic’s President and CEO. “Local food banks are working hard to assist people in our communities, and we would like to sincerely thank the staff and volunteers who ensure that families have food on the table in their time of need.”
