FOOD SUPPORTS

PAFNW+ regularly receives food donations, which are sorted and distributed to those in need. We are deeply grateful to Vancouver Food Runners, our primary partner in providing these essential food supports. Occasionally, we also receive contributions from other generous donors.

Food donations typically arrive on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Our opening times for distribution vary based on when the food is delivered and sorted. Generally, food deliveries occur between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM.

Please note, there is often a lineup outside our office for food distribution.

Priority for food supports is always given to Indigenous peoples.
