Food banks typically provide three to four days' worth of free food every one or two weeks for their clients. Most will require you to register as a client to use their services. This can involve calling the food bank or setting up an appointment with them. Once you are registered, you can pick up your food hamper based on the operating hours and dates of that specific food bank.

Free meal programs provide individual meals and may be available to all community members or just a specific population (such as youth or seniors). You will need to contact the organization offering the meals to receive your food. Some programs offer free meals daily whereas others only operate on certain days during the week or month.

Low-cost meal s are available through several organizations. Orders and payment can be done online or over the phone and the prepackaged meals are delivered on specific days of the week. Some organizations provide hot meals whereas others offer frozen meals. Some of these services are only offered to specific populations, such as seniors or those with medical conditions.

Please see the municipality-specific services to find free and low-cost food options near you. Each organization operates slightly differently so check the description of each one to learn how to access their services.

ABOUT US

The Asian Food Bank provides food to all those in need of staples that are most commonly eaten in the Asian diet. We recognize that food is a source of comfort, security and culture so we are proud to be the 1st Asian focused food bank for the BC Region. Asian Canadians in British Columbia make up the largest ethnic group yet do not have a food bank that carries the essentials foods for a balanced asian diet. New immigrants, students, low skilled workers, families living below poverty and Persons with Disabilities will benefit from this community resource, So began our journey to feed.

Our organization is an inclusive environment and we welcome all those in need to come and get a donation. No matter your background we will not discriminate and can provide foods like rice, noodles, tofu and other perishable items. The Asian food bank is a open door for anyone of any background to build food security for themselves and their families so we encourage those in need to come to our table. Food is meant to be shared in a community and we believe nutrition is the foundation for love, growth and stability in a persons life. Food is a basic necessity and we are so grateful for our donors who give towards our mission and want to see our community thrive from their generosity and empathy of others.
