Providing healthy food to those in need.

The Greater Vancouver Food Bank was set up as a temporary relief to the hunger crisis in 1983 and has grown significantly in the four decades since then. Today the GVFB provides assistance to approximately 15,000 individuals monthly across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, and the North Shore.

53% of the food distributed by the GVFB goes to individuals in four locations across our catchment area: Vancouver (59%), Burnaby (23%), New Westminster (9%), and the North Shore (9%). We support an ever-growing average of 15,000 lives a month, 28% of whom are children, and 14% are seniors.
The remaining 47% of the food distributed goes to our network of 150+ Agency Partners. These partners use GVFB food to fuel their food programs, including small community food banks, daily snack and meal programs for shelters and community housing, school nutrition programs, and more.
