Wild Food For All Program
Wild Food For All: Our Community Donation Program
At Kootenay Wildcrafting, we believe deeply in the power of wild food to nourish and heal. Our mission has always been to re-wild modern diets by bringing you the most potent, wild-harvested foods from the forests and fields of British Columbia. But we believe this powerful wellness should be accessible to everyone in our community, especially those who need it most. That’s why we created this program.
How You Can Help Nourish Your Community
This season, you can join us in getting our wild-harvested Elderberry Syrup Kits to food banks across Canada. We make absolutely no profit on these donations—you pay exactly what it costs us to wild-harvest, prepare, and package them.
When you add a donation to your order, you have two simple choices:
Option 1: Be a Local Hero
"Ship a kit to me to donate to my community"
- Select this option at checkout to receive the kit(s) with your order.
- We will pack your donation kits in a separate, clearly labelled bag.
- You then deliver them to your local food bank, community pantry, or shelter.
- This is a powerful way to support wellness directly in your own neighbourhood.
Option 2: Trust Our Hands
"Donate directly to the Fruitvale Food Bank"
- Select this option at checkout.
- We will gather all these kits and deliver them in bulk to our dedicated partners at the Fruitvale Food Bank right here in our hometown.
- This ensures a reliable, large donation for a community we know and love.
What You're Donating
You’re giving the gift of simple, natural wellness. Each kit contains:
- Wild-Harvested Elderberries: Carefully and ethically gathered from pristine wilderness areas.
- Organic Cinnamon, Ginger, and Cloves: For immune support and flavour.
- Simple Instructions: Everything a person needs to easily make a potent, healthy syrup at home.
These kits are shelf-stable, practical, and designed to empower anyone to create their own herbal medicine.
A Quick Tip Before You Donate
Please consider calling your local food bank ahead of your drop-off to confirm they accept these types of products and to learn their most convenient drop-off hours. This small step ensures your generous donation is received smoothly and with gratitude!
