Meet Emma!Emma started volunteering with us in July 2023, and in just two short months, has dedicated an impressive 139 volunteer hours! She has been an incredibly valuable member of the team, helping us thrive during the summer months. Emma's bright and easy-going attitude, warm presence, and willingness to be flexible has been such a delight for staff and volunteers alike. When asked what her favourite part about volunteering at the Food Bank is, Emma said that it is the lovely and kind people that she works with that make her days here so enjoyable. Emma is currently completing her prerequisite courses to pursue a bachelor's degree in social work in 2024.

This summer has been the 6th year of our Summer Starfish Program, and thanks to amazing volunteers and community partners, it has been a big success, and we still have one more distribution day to go!What is Summer Starfish? During the school year, Starfish Packs are delivered directly to the students at their schools to bring home for the weekend. During the summer, the families pick up a bulked-up version of their typical school year Starfish Pack every two weeks from one of the 3 pickup locations.This year for the first time, families were able to select the items they prefer, rather than a pre-packed bag!Together, 382 children and their families have had access to healthy food options, including pantry items, milk, eggs, fresh produce, and bread. ...
