This year, the Golden Food Bank aims to provide Christmas Dinner for 100 local households in need. Neighbours who otherwise would be going without.

This is no small feat, and we need your help! We’re running a 50/50 Raffle to raise funds for the Christmas Dinner Kits. Winner announced Christmas Day.

Food bank use across Canada remains at record levels, with the cost of living and food prices showing little sign of easing in 2025. Many households in Golden and Area A continue to face affordability challenges, and demand for our services remains high.

In 2025, we continue to support hundreds of households through our Emergency Food Access Program, as well as our Recipe of the Week Meal Kit Program, and Food Rescue Days. These programs expand access, reduce food waste, and help ensure that healthy food reaches more people in our community. Every hamper we distribute contains essentials like fresh produce, dairy, meat, dry goods, diapers, toiletries, and formula. This is food that may otherwise be out of reach for many families. Your generosity directly puts these items on tables across Golden. The GFB is a nonprofit society independent of core government funding, meaning we rely on donations, fundraisers such as this one, and grant, to cover our program and operating costs each year.
