Goldstream Foodbank Donations
Consider donating to the Goldstream Foodbank this holiday season and help make a difference in your community. The Goldstream Foodbank has been in operation since 1983 and helps hundreds of families and individuals each year. In 2022, it is anticipated that nearly 600 people will receive assistance via their Christmas hamper program. Your monetary dollar donation goes much further at a wholesale level because the food bank has better purchasing power. Approximately every dollar donated allows them to purchase two dollars worth of food.
