Saige Community Food Share Society started as an idea between Lauren Kirkey and Ryan Hunter after they were approached at an event, by a transgendered woman struggling to access food banks due to identification issues. Lauren had access to food and then Ryan had access to a space. With the help of Bruce Antecol, Tanya Kuhn, the Metro Vancouver Dream Centre and Mandy Hardwick via Art Bank, that idea became a reality in January 2012.

We are a two-fold, nonprofit organization, that uses food rescue to keep edible food sources out of landfills and putting it into the hands of those in our community. As a low barrier, Two-Spirit, Trans and Gender Diverse safe space, we open our doors twice a month to provide fresh produce and baked goods at our food share program. In 2014 we started the Community Kitchen, partnering with local organizers to provide a space for 2STGD individuals to come together to learn how to cook healthy food options on a budget and a space to share a healthy meal with others in the community.
