Everybody needs help sometimes. The Pender Island Food Bank was established more than 25 years ago to serve all Pender residents in need. We are a registered BC Society and registered Canadian charity and a member of Food Banks BC/Food Banks Canada.
We provide food weekly using a grocery store model so clients can choose the foods that work best. We carry bread, meat, dairy, eggs, canned goods, pasta and other dry goods, fresh fruits and veggies and pet food. At Christmas, we operate Santa’s Sac which provides gifts for children and food hampers or gift certificates for Penderites in need.
We are an all-volunteer-run organization with more than 20 amazing community members and countless other supporters who help us with special activities, events, or through charitable giving.
We rely on donations of gifts of food and money from community members and local businesses, Tru-Value Spirit Board points (#9 on the board!), pet food donations from PAWS, and support from local businesses and residents.
If you, your family, or a neighbour needs help making ends meet please reach out. The Food Bank is open to any Penderite in need – no questions asked. We are an independent, non-religious organization that is open Fridays from 9-12 in the back of the St. Peters’ Anglican Church hall.
