invest in food bank

Dear Editor:

Dismay sadness. anger... these are emo
tions that surface when we consider the phyht
of people living in Our community who daily
face hunger and peor nutrition.

While media pronounce a buovant and
improving cconomy, we see no change in the
huge nur of people nceding, food assis-
tance each w High rent costs and the
urgent, unexpected expense of daily livi
bined with reductions in government assistance
mean many people simply don’t have enough
money to feed themselves and their families
properly.

Gratitude, humility, hope ... these are emo-
tions that surface when we realize how wonder-
ful it is that we have vour support to deal with
the problem of helping those in need to have
adequate food.

During the past vear, we helped 7,000 peo-
ple per week by providing bags of food that
were donated on behalf of.concerned people

“jike vourself — neighbors who want to help
their neighbors during their time of need.

Your support has enabled us to expand the
number of distribution depots in Vancouver,
Burnaby and the North Shore from 14 to 16 in
the past year, improving access for recipients.

We have abo been asked to assume responsibil
iw tor the toed bank in New Westiniaster, a real
challenge inthe face of the current need.
Time passes quickly and vou may ret realize
that two vears have gone by since vou last pro
vided the food bank with veur generous sup-
port
We continue to improve our operations as
we seek to fulfil our mission of “providing food
and related assistance to people in need.” The
approach of winter means we need your help
again to do this worthwhile work on behalf of
the community —- bow more than ever.

Executive Director
Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society
