A few weekends ago on October 19, despite stormy skies and relentless rain, our Volunteer Ambassadors braved the weather to help at the Greater Vancouver Food Bank . With smiles and energy, they showed up on time and ready to make a difference.
This time, we had the chance to experience the Greater Vancouver Food Bank’s new volunteer shift schedule. Previously, there was just one long shift on Saturdays from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, but now they’ve split it into two shorter shifts—9:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM. This change makes it easier for more people to get involved, and we’re excited to see even more Volunteer Ambassadors joining us, all while accommodating busy schedules.
The day was a resounding success! With our team well-staffed across both shifts, we brought warmth and positivity to clients during a cold and dreary weekend. Though we only managed to snap a group photo with our afternoon crew, every volunteer’s effort made a lasting impact.
Join Us for Our Next Food Bank Shifts!
We’ll be back at the Greater Vancouver Food Bank on November 16 and December 21, with morning and afternoon shifts available. Sign up for one—or both! Once you’ve registered, mark your calendar, and we’ll send you a reminder email before your shift.
