Donate today and join us in the fight to tackle hunger in BC!
With 1 in 4 British Columbians facing food insecurity, the need to support the province’s food banks and hunger relief agencies is urgent.
Who We Are
Food Banks BC is the provincial association of food banks and a leading voice for the hunger relief sector and the people it serves.
What We Do
Address the root causes of hunger
Food banks are a symptom of poverty. The absence of policies that ensure every British Columbian has dignified access to the food they need and want is unacceptable.
Food Banks BC serves as a voice for our sector and the people it serves. Through our research, reports and advocacy, we’re committed to ending the need for a charitable food system in BC.
Support with urgently needed food and funding
We provide the resources our members and other agencies need to tackle hunger in their communities. This support plays a vital role in helping our member network and the 100,000+ unique clients they serve monthly.
Together, we’re working towards our collective vision of a hunger-free British Columbia.
