In a heartwarming display of community spirit, staff from the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) recently volunteered at the Human Concern International local food bank. Their efforts focused on preparing 100 food boxes for families in need, bringing hope and support to households facing food insecurity.

The initiative was part of CASN’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and community engagement. Volunteers worked together to sort, pack, and organize essential food items, ensuring each box was filled with nutritious staples tailored to meet the needs of local families. The atmosphere was one of teamwork and compassion, with staff members expressing gratitude for the opportunity to give back.

“This experience was incredibly rewarding,” said Jean Daniel Jacob, CASN Executive Director. “It’s a reminder of the impact we can have when we come together to support our community.”

Human Concern International praised CASN’s contribution, noting that the food boxes would make a meaningful difference for many families. The collaboration highlights the power of partnerships between professional organizations and local charities in addressing urgent social issues.

CASN’s volunteer day not only provided immediate relief to those in need but also reinforced the values of empathy and service that lie at the heart of nursing education.
