Fresh Week

In response to the COVID-19 health crisis we are offering additional hours of fresh food distribution at our Winston St. location during Warehouse Week, the week we are traditionally closed each month. We have enough fresh and perishable items to distribute and we want them to go to those in need.

Come and see us during Fresh Week!

June 23 – 26, 10am – 2pm at Winston St.

All other locations will remain closed during this week as previously scheduled.

Attention Food Bank Clients

For everyone’s safety and to respect our community, DO NOT arrive in vehicles or line up more than 15 minutes before the start time of our distribution hours. This includes placing bags or carts in the line-up area to reserve a spot for yourself or friends. Please know that we have plenty of food to distribute within the distribution hours.

COVID-19 Protection Measures

As part of our many operational adaptations to address the COVID-19 health crisis, we have had to deal with the closure of our food distribution locations (neighbourhood houses, churches, community centres). With the critical need for social distancing, we have had to make alternate plans. Click “here” for the most up to date food distribution location schedule.

We are taking many internal precautions at the GVFB including increased hand sanitizing, frequent cleaning of high-touch areas and common areas, and social distancing within the warehouse and office.

We are working continuously and responsibly to ensure we continue to get healthy food to those in need, in a way that is operationally sustainable at this time. Thank you for your understanding during this uncertain time.
