Over the past month, our CPABC Burnaby/New Westminster Chapter volunteers have come together to support our local community at three wonderful Food Bank events held on December 7, December 14, 2024, and January 11, 2025.

Each event was filled with meaningful contributions and heartwarming moments. Volunteers, including both familiar faces and newcomers, worked full-day shifts to distribute food to individuals and families, clean and organize the warehouse, and warmly welcome everyone who visited the Food Bank.

One of the most touching highlights was the interaction with children whose smiling faces and family’s kind words brought a sense of joy and purpose to everyone involved. Our volunteers also went above and beyond by using their multilingual skills to help translate and answer questions, ensuring that all visitors felt supported and included.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the CPABC volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to these events. Your kindness and commitment have made a real difference, and your efforts have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for helping us build a stronger, more caring community!

Let’s continue to inspire others and make an impact together. ❤️
