A month’s worth of groceries changed Stephen’s life

This Thanksgiving, your gift of $180 can do the same for a family of four, giving them a monthly grocery hamper and a step-up when they need it most.

When Stephen came to Archway Food Bank, he had just $113 left for the month after paying rent. No job, no car, and no food.

“I was starving,” he said, “I had no previous experience living in such a state, and literally had only survival on my mind when the Food Bank came into my life.”
That first food hamper gave him more than meals.”

It changed his life.

This Thanksgiving, too many of our Abbotsford neighbours are facing similar struggles as Stephen once did. Families, seniors, and newcomers in Abbotsford are doing their best but the cost of groceries, rent, and back-to-school expenses have pushed many into survival mode.

Your gift of $180 gives a family of four a monthly grocery hamper. It includes staples like fresh produce, dairy, rice, legumes, canned goods, and a few special items to help make Thanksgiving feel like Thanksgiving.

With October 13th (Thanksgiving Monday) just around the corner, we hope you’ll consider giving today.

Thanks to generous and kind supporters like you. You give hungry Abbotsford families a helping hand, a step-up, so they can build a better future which impacts us all. Strengthening our community.
