The Greater Vancouver Food Bank (GVFB) is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide healthy food to those in need.
The GVFB provides support to approximately 15,000 people each month across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, and the North Shore. We also provide food support to 150+ Community Agencies Partners throughout these communities, such as housing agencies, women's and children’s shelters, and after-school programs, which in turn provide meals and snacks to thousands of people each week.
We could not support this community without generous volunteers. Volunteers are the heart of the GVFB!
