Emergency Food Support

Food banks play a crucial role during times of emergency and natural disaster. This happens through the provision of food, water and other urgently needed supplies to evacuees, people impacted within the community, aid services and non-profits, and frontline emergency service personnel. 

For many years, Food Banks BC has played an active role in supporting communities impacted by major weather events. 

In 2024/25 we provided $1,212,792 to assist with the purchase of food and equipment that assisted with response and recovery efforts. This included the provision of 189,114 KG to support communities still impacted by the fire that destroyed the village of Lytton in July 2021.
