NOWBC Members Can Support Local Food Bank

Greetings,

The Food for Families Food bank (based out of the CityReach Care Society in East Vancouver), is a proud partner of NOWBC.  Food for Families is premised on the belief that insufficient nutrition perpetuates the many victimizing cycles of poverty and that all families deserve access to excellent and nourishing food choices.  The majority of the food we give out at our food bank is organic, and we serve families living below the poverty line.  The Food for Families Food Bank is unique because:

o We offer food only to families with children
o We provide uncompromisingly wholesome, nutritious food (no junk food – as much fresh food as we can)
o Participants are given healthy recipes related to the food given and access to a nutritionist
o We offer complimentary programs such as a our eduKitchen cooking classes and food security workshop series

Donating through the online market supports both the Food For Families Food Bank and NOWBC. If every NOWBC member donates just $2 a week, we would raise over $400 a month and help provide healthy food to the Food for Families Food Bank.  We can offer you a tax receipt for your donation.

Please let us know if you know of any organizations that might be able to donate FOOD to Food for Families, or if you would like to become a much valued Food for Families Volunteer!

Donations to the Food For Families Food Bank can be made through NOWBC in the Household and Misc section of the on-line market.  For more information about the Food For Families Food Bank program, visit www.cityreach.org or contact Laura Albert, Food for Families Coordinator at LauraA (at) cityreach.org or 604.254.2489.
