New Points System & Appointments
To better serve our neighbours, the Campbell River Food Bank will be switching to a points-based system with food distribution available by appointment only effective Tuesday September 3, 2024.
Each client will need to call our dedicated reservation line to choose a 15 minute appointment from times available that week.
Our dedicated reservation line will be open from 8:00am to 1:00pm starting on Monday August 26th: 250 914 2423.
If you are sending a friend or family member to pick up food for you, you must call ahead to place your order and book an appointment for pickup. Ask your authorized shopper to bring you an order sheet to select your grocery choices, or we can email one to you. You will need to provide your shopper with your ID to show us during the appointment.
We are doing everything we can to ensure a smooth transition to this new system. Please call or email us if you have any questions or concerns: 250 286 3226/ info@crfoodbank.ca

Newsletter
We’ve just released our very first edition of the Food Bank Buzz newsletter! Our goal is to keep our community informed about what we’re up to at the Campbell River Food Bank.
We plan on keeping these newsletters short and sweet with posts about our fundraising events, All-Star Volunteers, and operational updates that tell the story of our work in this city.
You can also follow along on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, for regular updates about the Food Bank and the people (and bears!) who keep our doors open.
So to all our neighbours and friends, thank you for joining us on this digital journey! We welcome your feedback as we grow together: info@crfoodbank.ca / 250 285 3226
