Food and Fund Drives

From holiday-themed fundraisers to city-wide school food and fundraising campaigns, the sky is the limit for creative event ideas! Donate, volunteer, or attend one of our many events throughout the year helping those in need of food support in your community.

Workplace Fundraisers

Our Virtual Food Drive is a fantastic engagement tool where teams can compete to raise money for the GVFB. Safe, secure, and hassle-free, the VFD enables you to collect monetary donations through your customized website. Double donations by asking your company to match funds raised, to show support for a cause that is important to you and your team!

Securities

Donating publicly traded shares or securities is a tax-smart way to support The Greater Vancouver Food Bank. You can avoid tax on capital gains, maximize the return on your investment, and use the tax credits against other taxable income.

You will receive a tax receipt for the full value of the traded stock or securities, and the transfer is easy and fast.

To discuss or advise us of your gift, please contact Greg Douglas at 604-216-2329. You can also complete our Securities Donation Form and return by fax or an email to [email protected].

We will be in touch when the transfer is complete.
