Friends In Need Food Bank

In honour of World Hunger Day, it’s always encouraging to see local news outlets sharing stories about the growing need at our food bank — the more awareness we can bring to food insecurity in our community, the better. 💜

Today serves as an important reminder that hunger exists in every community, including our own, and that it takes all of us working together to make a difference.

We would like to extend another heartfelt thank you to the Rotary Club of Meadow Ridge for presenting Friends In Need Food Bank Society with a generous $20,000 donation. Their dedication and commitment to supporting our community means far more than just the donation itself. Contributions like these directly help us continue operating day after day, ensuring fresh food and essential support reaches those who need it most.💜

Your kindness, contribution, and belief in our mission will be remembered every single day we open our doors. Thank you for standing with us. 💜

Your support matters now more than ever. As demand for food support continues to grow across our community, we are currently in urgent need of:

• Fresh produce
• Meat (all selections)
• Eggs
• Dairy products
• Healthy snack items

These items help us provide fresh, nutritious food to local families, seniors, and individuals facing food insecurity in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Every donation — big or small — makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for helping us keep our shelves stocked and our community supported. 💜

Donations can be dropped off at Friends In Need Food Bank during operating hours.

📢 Reminder: Friends In Need Food Bank will be CLOSED on Monday, May 18th for Victoria Day.

We will reopen with regular hours following the holiday. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable long weekend! 💜
