The TaKuaKautik is a Volunteer Based Community Lead Food Bank that are working on creating here in Nain Nunatsiavut.
They have been working together since January 2018. And to date, they now have a Board of Directors, thanks to Nunatsiavut Government DHSD, they have a location and storage, and a group of volunteers.
The Chair is Brenda Jararuse, Treasurer Kailey Webb, Secretary Kristeen McTavish, and their General Volunteer is Michelle Davies.
Their Facebook group, TaKuaKautik Food Bank will be used mainly to advertise any events going on and to keep the community updated with the TaKuaKautik.
They says that the next giveaway will be at the Nigivik Centre on Thursday, February 28, from 6-8pm, which will include food such as cereals and cereal bars, flour, sugar, soups, etc.
To place an order, you can call toll free number at 709-700-4739 and leave a message and state how many people in your family you are looking for food assistance for.
They would like to remind everyone that every last Thursday of the month will be food distribution days, unless stated otherwise. They are also asking those who placed an order to bring your bags back for the next giveaway.
Please keep an eye out for updates, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact any of the board of directors by email at takuakautik@gmail.com.
