Today the GVFB sees over 800,000 visits from clients annually across Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore.
Who We Support

Of these clients 31% are children and 15% are seniors. The remaining 48% of the food distributed goes to our network of Agency Partners. These partners use GVFB food to fuel their food programs, including small community food banks, daily snack and meal programs for shelters and community housing, school nutrition programs, and more.
