More Ways to Give

There are lots of ways to give to help feed kids in your own community and across BC.

Give Securities

When you donate stocks or securities, you can support Backpack Buddies in a tax-savvy way—and your donation goes further than if you sold the shares and donated cash. That’s a bigger impact to help vulnerable children access the food they need, and a bigger impact on the families who love them. If you’re interested in donating this way, please click below for more info or contact Emily-anne King.

Give by Cheque

Volunteering

Give your Time

Every year, hundreds of people volunteer to help pack bags of food at our warehouse in North Vancouver. Volunteers work in pairs or small groups for three-hour shifts filling bags with meals and snacks to last a child the weekend.

UPDATE: Our volunteer program is currently full (wow!). Please be in touch to be placed on our waitlist. We look forward to inviting you for a volunteer shift soon.
