WE HAVE OPTIONS FOR THOSE IN QUARANTINE
As an essential service, Archway Food Bank is open and will continue to stay open even if the severity of Covid-19 increases.
We have options for you if you need food.
Do you have the food you need but would like to make sure others have food?

We believe that people should not go hungry.
We wanted to give a friendly reminder to our community, especially in this current pandemic, that we are here to help you.
You may be a person who thought you would never need to access our services but you are now in a tough financial situation. You may be a parent who now has your children at home full time and don't have the usual help of school breakfast and lunch programs. You may be a senior who's isolated due to health vulnerabilities and don't have a way to access food. You may not know if you have a job to go back to after Covid-19.
No matter who you are, or what your story is, if you are going hungry - you are welcome to come receive food from us.
We are open Mondays through Thursdays and serve families and seniors in the mornings from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm, and singles and couples in the afternoons from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm. We please ask that you bring a piece of ID to show you are a resident of Abbotsford.
If you are currently in quarantine and do not have friends or family available to pick up food from us on your behalf, we also have a delivery service that can be applied for by visiting www.abbotsfordfoodbank.com/need-food/.
This has been another very busy week at the food bank! We have a lot of people to thank! Our regular volunteers who have continued to step up, new volunteers who have jumped right in, and all of the individuals, businesses, faith groups, and more, who have made food and financial donations which have allowed us to serve all of the extra people who have needed our help.
A few specific thank yous this week go to:
Birchwood Dairy Farm-Abbotsford, Seva BC, the Women’s Curling Club, Save-On-Foods, Global Convention Services Ltd., Hello Bello, Hydralyte Canada, Rumble, Laikiricecrackers, Go Pure by Leclerc, for their generous donations of money and/or products.
Also, a very special thank you to Jeremy, who donated money from her birthday to the Starfish Pack Program.
We have felt so loved and supported during this time of uncertainty, and it has shown us again how grateful we are to be part of this special community.
#AFBThankfulThursday
Today is #afbwhywedoitwednesday. Rebecca has loved working at the food bank for over 10 years! She has been in many different roles throughout her time here, but right now she is currently our Media Supervisor and a member of our Philanthropy Services team. She has been working from home to self-isolate during Covid-19, but that didn't stop her from sharing why she loves being part of the food bank team!

This is a support group for our community to help vulnerable members who need to stay out of public during this Covid-19 Pandemic.
If you are available to provide support to the members in your area, this is your place. If you are a person in need or know of anyone who could benefit from our group, please let us know.
Our goal is to organize volunteers/ supporters with vulnerable community members to help in the delivery of basic needs while taking protective measures. This is also a place to share opportunities, resources, and organization information that may help support the community members.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Last week was a whirlwind of activity filled with many emotions and hurdles! Together, we are facing this pandemic with bravery and the kindness of our community. We served an extra 149 households this month, and we expect that number to rise before March is done.
Thanks to all the local businesses, faith groups and individuals for stepping up to help these essential services to continue to feed the hungry!
To name just a few: Milestones, Oldhand Coffee, Lepp Farm Market, New York Fries - Sevenoaks, White Spot Restaurants, Heppell's Potato, Silver Hills Bakery, Nature's Pickin's Market, Abbotsford Seventh-day Adventist Church & Legacy Dance Productions
