Together we can make a difference

Providing food, support and hope to people throughout the Campbell River area.

Serving the Campbell River Area Since 1985

The Campbell River Food Bank has been here for local individuals and families when they need a helping hand. We provide access to nutritious food with dignity, compassion and respect, while helping build a stronger, more connected community.

Our work is made possible through the combined support of donors, volunteers, community partners, grant funding, and food security programs.

Every contribution helps us make a meaningful difference in the lives of people facing food insecurity.

A Little Help When It Matters Most

Sometimes a change in circumstances is all it takes to make putting food on the table difficult. A job loss, illness, rising costs or an unexpected expense can leave anyone needing a little extra support.

For people in our community, the Campbell River Food Bank can provide that breathing room — nutritious food, a welcoming place to turn and support offered without judgement.

Client comment:

With my budget stretched each month, I am grateful for the support the Food Bank provides. I visit at the beginning of each month to see what foods are available and then plan my grocery shopping around those items, purchasing only what I still need. This helps me make the most of my limited income.

Volunteer Spotlight

Meet a few of the people who generously give their time to support our community.

I started volunteering after I retired from the Royal Bank, because I suddenly had time on my hands. Now it’s one of the best parts of my week. I participate in the Royal Bank Volunteer Program, which gives funds to the CR Food Bank monthly.

The best part of volunteering is the people. Everyone works together, there’s lots of laughter, and you feel like part of a team. Knowing that our efforts help ensure local families have access to food makes every shift worthwhile. It’s something I look forward to each week.

Several of my fellow Daybreak Rotarians volunteer at the Food Bank, and their enthusiasm encouraged me to get involved. I now look forward to my weekly volunteer shifts and appreciate the opportunity to see firsthand how the Food Bank makes a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community.
