During last week's Starfish delivery, our volunteer teams surpassed 10,000 total packs delivered this school year!![]()

This is the first time we have surpassed this number of packs delivered during a school year in the history of our program.![]()

While this number is both a staggering reflection of the increased need, it's also a reflection of our community's ability to rise to the occasion and ensure children continue to have access to food on weekends. ![]()

This program wouldn't be possible without our amazing community of volunteers, donors, supportive staff members at the schools, and our grocery provider - Save-On-Foods![]()

Rebecca (Program Supervisor) and Meghan (Starfish Program Coordinator) had the pleasure of attending the Soroptimist "Live Your Dream Awards" on Saturday, April 23rd to accept this generous donation and to hear about the great work being done in our community.
Please join us in congratulating Hiva on her newest role at the food bank as a full-time member of our intake staff!![]()
![]()
We first met Hiva in September 2020, when she completed her practicum with us while completing her social work diploma through UFV. She was a fantastic addition to our team, and we were sad to see her go when her practicum finished.![]()
![]()
Lucky for us, Hiva rejoined the team as a volunteer, and then was hired on as a casual intake staff member in November 2021.![]()
![]()
Most recently, Hiva accepted a role as a full-time intake staff member, and now we get to have her with us 5 days a week! We are so grateful for Hiva and her kind heart, patience, knowledge, great work ethic, and fun personality.![]()

Congratulations Hiva!
Shout out to this group of grade 12 students from Abby Senior who collected and dropped off donations to us for their Capstone Project. We are so grateful to have been included as the recipients of this project!
