If You are wanting to participate in the program please come to the Nicola Valley Food Bank and get signed up by June 19

The BC Farmers Market Coupon Program has been given the green light. If you are a low income family or senior please come in and get your application submitted by June 11

We have 76 spots this year, so new participants will take precedence over those who have been part of the program in past years, to make it fair.

To clarify, low income pregnant women, families with children 18 and under and seniors 65+ are welcome to apply at this time.

Thank you to BC Farmers Market, Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Health for supporting this program that helps meet the nutrional needs of those who need it most.

🐾 A Heartfelt Thank You to Pet Valu Merritt! 🐾

The Nicola Valley Food Bank would like to extend our sincere thanks to Shelley Corman and the team at Pet Valu Merritt for coordinating a generous donation of pet food provided by Canadian Naturals Pet Food.

We know that pets are cherished members of the family, and for many households facing financial challenges, keeping food in the bowl for their furry companions can be an added concern. Donations like this help ensure that families in our community can continue caring for the pets they love.

Thank you to Shelley, Pet Valu Merritt, and Canadian Naturals Pet Food for your compassion, generosity, and commitment to supporting our community. Together, we're helping both people and pets through difficult times. ❤️🐶🐱

Imagine a world where compassion and kindness suffice to feed the hungry. Our team's unwavering dedication to serving our community's most vulnerable members is the driving force behind our food bank. However, the reality is that we rely on the generosity of donors to cover essential expenses like rent, food, vehicle maintenance, hydro, and more - just like any other business. The significant difference is that we don't generate revenue through sales; instead, we depend on the kindness of others. As an accredited member of Food Banks Canada, we're committed to transparency and accountability. We invite you to learn more about our operations, review our financials, and join us in the fight against hunger. Your support can make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. Please consider donating to our cause and help us continue to make a meaningful impact.

Community-minded businesses like No Frills make a real difference, and we are grateful for their ongoing commitment to helping local residents.

Thank you, Peter, and everyone at No Frills, for investing in our community and helping ensure that no one has to face hunger alone.

Together, we are building a stronger, more caring Nicola Valley. 💚
