Tydel Foods: making sure low income seniors in Chilliwack don’t go hungry/The Superette – Nanaimo’s best kept secret?

Imagine a store where food is priced just a bit higher than its cost, all to ensure everyone in the community can afford a decent meal. That's exactly what Brigida Crosbie has created with Tydel Foods in Chilliwack. Named after her daughters, Tyanna and Delana, this shop isn't just about groceries; it's about making sure low-income seniors don't go hungry. Brigida offers heavily discounted food packages to those who need it most, embodying the spirit of community support.

But that's not all. The episode also shines a light on The Superette in Nanaimo, a hidden gem offering a wide range of affordable products. Known as Nanaimo's best-kept secret, The Superette has become an essential resource for many, especially during the current food crisis in Canada. This episode of 'Voices of Resilience' takes you through the challenges faced by these small businesses and their incredible impact on mental health, addiction recovery, and homelessness.

It's a call to action for us all to support local shops that are doing more than just selling products—they're feeding hope and resilience in their communities.
