Facing the adversity of food insecurity challenges, the Surrey Food Bank remains a steadfast ally, offering critical support to those in need. As the demand for their services continues to grow, there are numerous ways individuals can extend their support and make a tangible difference in the lives of others.

Donate Food and Funds: Organizing a food drive within your workplace, school, or community organisation can provide essential supplies to the Surrey Food Bank. Non-perishable items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, and cereal are always in high demand.

Whether you can commit to regular shifts or contribute your time to one-time volunteer opportunities, your efforts play a crucial role in the smooth operation of the food bank and the delivery of its services to the community.

This year’s theme, “40+ Years of Helping Lives Change,” promises a memorable experience filled with delightful breakfast, inspiring speakers, and opportunities to make a difference. Sponsorship, donations, and volunteer opportunities are available to further support the organisation’s mission. Reserve your spot and join the Surrey Food Bank for a morning of inspiration and impact.

Spreading Awareness: It’s crucial to amplify awareness regarding food insecurity and the efforts of the Surrey Food Bank to rally support and nurture empathy within the community. Utilise social media channels to disseminate information, host fundraising activities, or participate in outreach programs.
