Five Good Ideas

Nick Saul, Executive Director of The Stop Community Food Centre, will share Five Good Ideas gleaned from his work in transforming a small, local food bank into a thriving community food centre: a place where people come together over food to build health, hope, skills, self-confidence, environmental sustainability, community and greater equity. The Stop’s story has lessons and inspirational ideas for everyone interested in building healthy community organizations, inclusive public space and creating social change. Today, The Stop serves up dignity and empowerment to a large community by bringing together people from all socio-economic backgrounds and helping make connections through eating, growing, sharing and advocating for good food for all.

We are always asked to tell stories about our agencies – to our funders, to our Boards, to our staff, to ourselves. We need to build a case, motivate, provide a reason to donate, help our clients see that we are serving them in the best way we know how. Numbers are really just another way to tell the story. Come and listen to five good ideas about finance in our sector. See why it is important to get behind, inside and through the numbers so that the story you tell is one that will really be heard.
