The
Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society (GVFBS) was
established in 1982 when many small organizations,
church groups and concerned citizens joined together in
response to the hunger crisis during the economic
recession in 1981. The purpose of the GVBS was to be a
temporary social service provider; however, because the
number of those suffering from hunger problems has
continued to increase, the GVFBS has become one of the
most important non-government funded food assistance
providers in Canada. In 1982, the GVFBS assisted 200
people... Today the GVFBS helps feed more than 9,000
people each week in 18 depots located in Burnaby, New
Westminster, Vancouver and the North Shore.
Additionally, the GVFBS aids over 100 agencies within
these areas, providing help to another 16,000
individuals weekly. |

The
Island’s community includes over 300 businesses, studios
and facilities. It employs more than 2,500 people, and
is home to residents living in the Sea Village
neighbourhood (floating homes on the southeast end of
Granville Island with water for a front yard). It is
administered by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing
Corporation (CMHC), a federal government body, and is
fully self-supporting financially. Granville Island’s
projects are developed and managed by public, private,
and non-profit sectors. |
