We would like you to give back to your community as well as helping men get a second chance. One way is through volunteering at your local food bank.
We have chosen the Greater Vancouver Food Bank .Today the GVFB provides assistance to approximately 8,500 people weekly through 13 locations across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore.
25% of clients are children and youth, 22% are seniors.
They also provide food support to approximately 80 community agencies throughout these communities, who in turn provide meals and snacks to thousands of people each week.
The GVFB receives, purchases and distributes approximately 4.5 million pounds of food each year. Because of the size, scale and unique position in the local food system, they have significantly greater buying power than can be achieved at the grocery store, and can purchase as much as $3 worth of food for every $1 donated, maximizing the impact of donors’ generous contributions.
Greater Vancouver food bank receives no government funding, and exist solely through the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations in our communities. #FFMF #volunteer #giveback #foodformenfoundation
