Combat hunger with

Amid rising prices, escalating housing costs, and employment challenges, demand at food banks across Canada has soared to all-time highs. Make a difference at the Greater Vancouver Food Bank (GVFB) by ensuring individuals, couples, and families receive the nourishment they need during these tough times. Stand in solidarity with fellow UBC alumni who are helping the GVFB with everything from creating a welcoming environment for clients to organizing and cleaning up the distribution site. Help prevent hunger and uplift your fellow citizens by supporting this local organization.
