We would like to recognize the ongoing relationship Golden Food Bank has with the Town of Golden and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, the support of whom makes a major impact on the delivery of our food access programs.

ToG and the CSRD renewed Economic Opportunity funding for GFB again in 2026, allowing us to purchase meat and produce from local growers in Golden & Area A. This Economic Opportunity funding allows us to support local producers with our purchasing dollars, while making their local product accessible to residents experiencing food insecurity. This funding supports both individual and regional food security - neither of which can exist without the other.

In addition to Economic Opportunities , the beautiful cedar building GFB calls home is leased to us at a very nominal rate by the Town of Golden, allowing us to prioritize donation spending on food and other necessities, instead of market-rate rents.

Without the continued support of our municipal and regional governments, GFB and our programming would look very different. We are so grateful for the support and aid we receive to keep food on our neighbour's tables.
