In 2025, you and the GVFB will have an opportunity to purchase our current Vancouver facility on 3454 Lougheed Highway to serve as a permanent home for our life-saving operations. We provide healthy food to individuals, families and community partners when they need help the most — but we need ongoing access to commercial warehouse space to continue our operations. In Vancouver, that’s both rare and expensive.

We are reaching out to our most committed supporters — like you — for your help. Will you make a gift to help us buy our facility?

By working together, we can create a future where everyone has enough to eat.

Visit www.freshfutures.ca. for more information. If you'd like your donation to go towards the purchase of our permanent home in Vancouver, please leave a note in the "Message for the charity" section in the donation form.

Thank you so much for helping us create a fresh future for Greater Vancouver. 

The Greater Vancouver Food Bank provides assistance to approximately 15,000 people monthly across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore. 28.3% of our clients are children and youth, 14.2% are seniors. We have four specialized nutrition programs for children from birth to 12 years old, and for seniors.

We also provide food support to over 150 Community and Provincial Agencies throughout these communities, such as housing agencies, women and children's shelters, transition homes and after school programs, which in turn provide meals and snacks to thousands of people each week, including people who are homeless.

The GVFB receives, purchases and distributes approximately 9.4 million pounds of food in 2024. Because of our size, scale and unique position in the local food system, we have greater buying power than can be achieved at the grocery store, and can double the value of each donated dollar we receive, maximizing the impact of our donors’ generous contributions.

We receive no ongoing government funding, and exist solely through the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations in our communities.

OUR MISSION: Providing Healthy Food to Those in Need.
OUR VISION: Healthy Communities Through Fair and Effective Food Systems.
