Leaving a gift in your Will for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank has a tremendous impact for years to come.

Your legacy will...

Promote health and wellness

Leave a gift in your Will (bequest)

At the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, we believe it is important for everyone to have a current Will prepared to ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend, and that your loved ones and friends will be cared for. You can give as much or as little as you want and you can always change your mind. Just add a phrase about your intention using our legal name and Canadian charitable number: Greater Vancouver Food Bank, 107449787 RR0001

You can name a specific dollar amount or a piece of property, such as a home or securities.
