Food For All NB is a non-profit organization that aims to educate New Brunswickers about food security.

As director, Reinsborough has had a busy year since COVID-19 complicated access to food security programs across the province.

She and her team were quick to respond by publishing grant opportunities, food maps, and community resources on Food For All NB’s website.

Reinsborough provides a detailed recap of what Food For All NB accomplished in 2020, and suggests some long-term solutions to food insecurity in New Brunswick.
