Fighting hunger on Cortes Island

Support Our

Virtual Food Drive

We've launched a Virtual Food Drive for the Cortes Food Bank, in partnership with Food Banks BC.

The Cortes Food Bank is facing an unprecedented rise in requests for help in our community. To put things in perspective, last October we had 5 requests for food, but this October we had over 70! And the number of people in need of food is growing as we head into the winter.

Our team is doing our best to rise to the challenge, but we need your help. The button below will take you to our fundraising page. We're sending you a BIG thank you for any support you can give!

What to expect

We are here to help with healthy food and a welcoming team.

About us

The Cortes Food Bank is a nonprofit organization and a member of Food Banks BC. We provide food to any community member in need. 

Food hamper pick-ups are every second Monday alternating between our two locations: ​

​

  • Gorge Hall (Whaletown) | 10 a.m. to noon.
     

  • Manson's Hall food hut (Mansons Landing) | 10 a.m. to noon.

 

We do our best to offer these regular pick-up times, but they might change around major holidays or in the event of a staffing shortage.

 

Request your food 2 days ahead of time to help us meet your needs.
