About Food Banks British Columbia

Overview

Food Banks British Columbia is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing community food banks with the support and resources necessary to accept, store, and distribute donations of fresh produce, protein, dairy, and more. By diverting food from dumps into the hands of 80,000 people each month who are hungry in British Columbia, the organization plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity in the region. They acquire bulk donations of food and ensure they reach any community in BC requiring food assistance. Additionally, Food Banks British Columbia operates the BC Coupon Program, provides emergency assistance during crises like pandemics or natural disasters, and maintains a province-wide emergency preparedness and response program to ensure the safe collection, transportation, and distribution of food during emergencies.
