BNH operates two Food Hubs - one at North Burnaby Neighbourhood House at 4908 Hastings Street and one at South Burnaby's Community Hall at 5024 Rumble Street. Both Food Hubs provide food support to over 1,100 households in Burnaby...that's 1,500 individuals each week and over 29,000+ meals served monthly! But we need your help. The need for food support keeps on growing. More individuals and families are registering to look for support and we can't keep up. This October, we are actively collecting cash donations and non-perishable donations. With cash donations, we are able to leverage our bulk food purchasing power. We can purchase perishables such as fruit and vegetables through wholesalers at a significantly reduced cost. Also by working with our partners, we are able to collect non-perishable items for distribution. |
