- canned legumes and beans

Staff can receive food donations at 5657 Lamprey Lane during the following times:
Tuesdays 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Thursdays 9:00 pm - 4:00 pm
We encourage phoning 604-885-5881 ext.240 to arrange delivery to ensure a staff member is there to accept your donation. Anyone wishing to donate perishable items (such as produce) must make arrangements with Food Bank staff, as drop-off is by pre-arrangement only.
Another option if you wish to donate food (not money) to the Food Bank, is to visit your local grocery store, purchase food and leave it in the bins provided at each location.
