Working together towards a hunger free British Columbia
Who we are and what we do
Food Banks BC is the provincial association of food banks.
Our membership is comprised of 111 hunger relief agencies throughout British Columbia.
We support our members and other agencies through the provision of resources that assist their efforts to tackle hunger in communities they represent.
In 2024/25, we directed $4,969,813 in donations and 1,247,572 pounds of donated and purchased food. This support plays a vital role in assisting our member network and the 100,000+ unique clients they serve monthly.
Together we are working towards our collective vision of a hunger free British Columbia.
