FISH of Vancouver Food Pantry

Growing to Fill The Need - FISH of Vancouver is continuing its mission to end hunger in Vancouver.

Last year we participated in GiveBIG, and and at the end of the day, with matching funds, we raised over $80,000 from local donations to help provide direct support for those in need of nutritious and necessary food. We want to bring that same energy and generosity into this year’s fundraiser – and we are excited for you to join us in achieving that goal.

FISH is now undergoing an expansion of its pantry in order to increase the number of meals, services, and resources we provide to the community. You have the opportunity to be part of that growth, as we cast our net wider and continue to support and sustain those in need with nourishment. FISH’s growth translates into more resources to help us help others, additional room to store and provide food, and more opportunities to make a difference in the lives of many. 

The need for food has grown, both in 2023 and now 2024.  We have seen soaring grocery costs and an increased cost of living. Our client numbers are skyrocketing – and show no signs of slowing down. With inflation and high cost of local housing and other living expenses, a record number of people are lining up outside our door. 

In 2023 we fed more than 3,500 families & 12,000 people each and every month.  We distributed approximately 2 million pounds of food to those clients!

Our Growing to Fill The Need Project offers you an opportunity to support families in need. By making a donation, you can help ensure that our shelves are well-stocked with nutritious foods for family meals, and our programs have a greater impact on the community. Your contribution can help ensure that families and individuals have access to ample and nourishing foods, promoting their health and well-being. During GiveBIG, consider donating to FISH of Vancouver, and your donation will be matched by our generous matching donors. With your support, we can empower our local hungry families to stand strong and remain healthy.

YOU have the power to make a difference! Thank you for your valuable support!
