Greater Vancouver Food Bank

The GVFB operates locations in the Lower Mainland, open Monday-Friday each week, excluding the week when provincial Social Assistance cheques are issued.
We ask all GVFB members to register in order to access food.

The food bank is available to people living in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster. If you live outside these areas, please contact the food bank in your city or call BC 211.

In order to register, we ask for:
  • A piece of government-issued identification (i.e., driver’s license, passport, Care Card, etc.) for each household member.
  • Proof of address (i.e., rental agreement, utility bill).

You can register at the Food Bank’s main office or at one of our locations. You will then receive a photo membership card to access food from any of our locations. They will accept expired ID and photocopies stamped from the BC Ministry of Social Development.
