We think that no one should go hungry in our communities. A little effort on our part goes a long way. Each month on Saturday nearest the full moon a group of us go to downtown eastside Vancouver & Nanaimo to distribute home-baked potatoes. We go rain or shine. In fact, it is easy to think that this is someone else's problem and to stay in the comfort of our homes, but we encourage you to put love and compassion into practice by DIRECTLY helping those less fortunate than yourself - you'll be glad you did! Some Saturdays we've given away up to 2500 baked potatoes in Vancouver alone! - thanks to the generosity of our volunteers. If you can participate in SPUD Patrol this month - we have coordinators in each city, please follow the links on the left...

The Spud Patrol Mantras:

"May all be fed, may all be loved"
