Surrey/Langley/North Delta Chapter - Breakfast with the Bank Event Recap

On May 9, Chapter members attended the 21st annual Surrey Food Bank’s signature fundraising event, Breakfast with the Bank (BWTB), held in person at Taj Park Convention Centre in Surrey, BC.

Hosted by Mark Madryga, Chief Meteorologist, Global BC, members heard stories from the community of Surrey Food Bank volunteers.

The event featured many speeches and gratitude from Brenda Locke, Mayor of the City of Surrey, and some volunteers with the Surrey Food Bank who shared the rewards they have experienced volunteering with the Surrey Food Bank.

The BWTB is the Surrey Food Bank’s only fundraiser. The Surrey Food Bank operates solely on donations and receives no government funding. This year, its goal was to raise $100,000 to achieve its vision of a healthy, thriving community free of poverty and moving toward becoming more than just a food bank.

This year is the Surrey Food Bank’s 41st year of community service. They provide food assistance, other household items, hygiene items, diapers, infant foods, and pet supplies, among other things. They have created specialized programs such as the Tiny Tots Program, Seniors Program, and Hamper to Your Home to ensure they are providing food assistance to everyone who needs a hand in our community.

Please save the date for next year’s event, which will be held in May 2025. It will be the 22nd anniversary of the Breakfast with the Bank and the 42nd anniversary of Surrey Food Bank.
