Children like Zaina in Uganda, Malaika in Lubicon Lake Band, Alberta and Mariam in Ghana are eating well, thriving at school, active in sports and connecting with their heritage. That’s the power of your support! I hope you enjoy learning more about your impact.

First Comes Food is a brand-new podcast by Canadian Feed The Children that explores the surprising ways communities are feeding children and families in the face of a global food crisis.

Join us on our journey through Indigenous food forests in Saskatchewan, arming communities in African countries and early childhood community programs in Bolivia and meet the people who are growing food security for everyone.

In our premiere episode, What's a Food Forest?,you’ll hear about a remarkable partnership that is helping Indigenous families grow their own food. Food Forests are a unique way communities grow their own nutritious food locally, and feed families for generations. We’ll take you to one such food forest in central Saskatchewan and meet the people behind it.

Your partnership has been key to community efforts to feed families during the global food crisis. Listen to learn more about your impact!
