As the Holiday Season approaches the NunatuKavut Community Council understands how challenging this is for members living in Labrador who are on fixed incomes. The Holiday Hampers is a way to relieve some anxiety and a tangible way to support food security throughout our territory. In the past we know how much these hampers help with spreading Holiday Cheer and our staff and volunteers enjoy the opportunity to connect and share food with you.
NCC is seeking Expressions of Interest from retailers (located in and serving the listed communities below) to supply food items for holiday hampers. Hampers will be purchased from one (1) retailer in the community/region where they will be distributed.
Distribution will be coordinated with available volunteers and retail partners.

- Labrador Straits
- Mary’s Harbour including Lodge Bay
- St. Lewis
