The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation provides an important opportunity to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and to recommit to understanding the truth of our shared history, to accept and learn from it and in doing so, help to create a better, more inclusive British Columbia and Canada.![]()

We’re encouraging our team to use this time off to learn more about Indigenous culture, the history of residential schools and the ongoing effects as well as what we can do to further reconciliation. ![]()

Today was bittersweet as we said farewell to our lead driver, Colin!![]()
![]()
Colin joined our food bank in May 2021 and has been a hardworking, dependable, and consistent member of our team for the past nearly 3.5 years. ![]()
![]()
Not only did Colin do an excellent job of making sure pick ups and deliveries happened timely and efficiently, which ensured the rest of our operations ran smoothly; He was also a warm, kind, and encouraging person who created a welcoming environment that made staff and volunteers feel seen and supported. ![]()

Colin has helped our team throughout the second half of the pandemic, the devastating floods, multiple snowstorms, and other challenges that we have faced over the years, making sure our Fresh Food Recovery Program, Starfish Pack Program, Satellites, and other programs received the supplies and food deliveries essential to operation. ![]()

Although we are sad to see Colin go, we are proud to share that he is going back to school to pursue a career in counseling. If you have had the joy of interacting with Colin, you know this career change is an excellent fit.![]()

Please join us in wishing him all the best on this new adventure!
This past summer while our building was experiencing a scheduled power outage for maintenance work, our team had the opportunity to take a "field trip" to St Josephs Food Bank in Mission, to see how their food bank operates! ![]()

It was an insightful and fun experience. Thank you so much Sandra and the team at Mission for the tour and warm welcome!
The need for Starfish Packs has been growing every year since its inception in 2013, with a record breaking 24,843 packs distributed in the 2023/2024 school year.![]()

The Summer Starfish Pack program was created in 2018 to help fill the gap to ensure that children and their families have access to healthy foods once their school meal programs close over the summer.![]()
