We are extremely grateful for all of our amazing volunteers who come here and give their time and hearts week after week. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the food bank! ![]()

This week we wanted to give a special shout-out to the 30+ high school and university students who volunteer with us on a weekly basis. ![]()

These students work so hard, and bring a fresh and positive energy to our team! We are so thankful for them and the difference they are making in our community.
Meet Colin, our new full time driver! ![]()

We are so excited to have Colin as part of our food bank team. He is already doing a fantastic job. Make sure you say hi if you see him! ๐
We want to say a huge thank you to our friends at the Abbotsford Community Foundation for their continued generous support! ![]()

Most recently we received $20,000 from their Smart & Caring Community Grant! $10,000 went to our Starfish Pack Program and the other $10,000 to Seva Food Pantry (a partnership between the food bank and Archway Community Services Multicultural program). ![]()

This money will help us continue to deliver Starfish Packs until the end of the school year, then transition into our Summer Starfish Program. It will also help Seva Food Pantry continue to support 40+ South Asian and Middle Eastern families on a monthly basis. ![]()
