2021 Christmas Sponsorship Application: 

 

We ask that if you are in a position to sponsor a family, please fill out this application and return it to the Food Bank office at 2026 Quilchena Avenue or email it back to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. no later than November 18, 2021. Once you identify your interest, we will match you with an appropriately sized family and pass that information back to you for you to begin the shopping fun as soon as possible. We ask that each sponsored family receives enough food to provide a wholesome holiday meal for all individuals as well as a gift for each member of the family. When individuals register with our program they are given an opportunity to provide an idea of their general interests, some food preferences and clothing sizes and that information will be passed on to sponsors to make this an easy and positive experience for all.

If you find you have a large group of individuals wanting to get involved, we recommend adopting multiple families rather than providing and extra-large hamper. It is a goal to have all family hampers to be relative in size depending on the number of family members. We can also supply a list of items that the families who we are unable to match with sponsors will receive from the food bank. Of course, as a sponsor, the choice is yours.

Please contact me about sponsoring a family:

Due to a widespread demographic of our clients and some previous safety and liability concerns, all hampers will be handed out at our Christmas Hamper Location rather than having sponsors do deliveries. Please be mindful that individuals and families may be going through a different life experiences than that of your own and we need to ensure safety, respect and privacy to all those involved under all aspects of our programming.

Thank you for your compassion!

Welcome to Nicola Valley Food Bank

The Nicola Valley & District Food Bank society was formed in 1999 to help those in the Nicola Valley who live within the limitations of low income to gain access to food for their families. In 2015 we reached an all-time assistance level of helping over 1140 individuals in our community. Some may only access our services once in a lifetime or for a short period while we find that others need our assistance on a more frequent and longer basis. This results in a community support level approaching 11,000 clients assisted in a one year period.

If you require our services to access food please come into the food bank during business hours (Tuesday - Thursday 10 am through 1 pm) with your proof of income, documentation showing an address in our area, and ID for each member of your family. (We commonly use a medical card).

If you are looking to make a donation we encourage you to come during business hours for financial donations while non-perishable donations can be left in the donation bins located at the front of both our local Save-On-Foods and Extra Foods. You can also support us by making a contribution via PayPal.  Thank you!
