Our Work Environment
The GVFB Head Office is a bright, spacious and welcoming environment. People notice the “wow” factor when they walk in for the first time and see behind the scenes of our impressive operation, including our fully permitted kitchen. Our warehouse contains 80,000 cubic feet of coolers and freezers which we have named “Refrigeration Alley” allowing us to receive and distribute a large amount of perishable food donations.
