The Greater Vancouver Food Bank was set up as a temporary relief to the hunger crisis in 1983, but the need still exists today. We receive no ongoing government funding and exist solely through the generosity of the public, our industry partners, and applicable grants.  Each month we provide healthy food to around 13,000 individuals and families in need, and 118 Community Agency Partners across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore. Our mission is to provide healthy food to those in need.
