With inflation as high as it is, many have seen their weekly grocery bill double and those on low income are hurt the hardest. The Foodbank in your local community is depending on you. If you can donate please consider giving cash. Every donation, regardless of size, makes a difference to the people we support each month. We extend our deepest thanks to our community of donors during these economically challenging times.
The expensive cost of living has become the primary reason for people to seek support for the services provided by the Foodbank. Our local Foodbank reports that this past September, they registered a staggering 904 individuals for food support. Compared to the start of the year, they are registering around 500 individuals per month.
Despite the alarmingly high increase in demand, they have been able to keep up with the demand thanks to you, and other generous supporters. In addition to providing food support to more people, they are distributing more food than ever. In the past 12 months, they have distributed 8.1 million pounds food healthy and nutritious food to those in need across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore.
