Grateful for our amazing community. The Harris Pumpkin Patch helped raise $625 and collect 930 lbs of food for local families. Your support continues to grow hope in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Between the Purolator Red Bag Tackle Hunger event in Pitt Meadows (4,000lbs collected) and the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive in Maple Ridge (8,000lbs collected), our neighbours came together in a big way — collecting a total of over 12,000 pounds of food for families who rely on Friends In Need. That’s thousands of pounds of non-perishable food that will go straight onto the shelves for nearly 1,000 households we support every single week.

To our neighbours who donated - a HUGE thank you! To our many volunteers who spent hours driving routes, lifting heavy bags, sorting donations, and showing up with huge hearts — thank you. Your energy and commitment are the backbone of these community drives.

The momentum doesn’t stop here. Throughout October, the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association and participating local businesses are continuing the food collection. If you missed the doorstep pickups, you still have a chance to be part of this community‑wide effort.

Thank you for your continued support 💜

September was a month filled with impact, connection, and care.

Across Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, 1,004 households walked through our doors, and each visit reminded us why this work matters. With 2,922 visits and 2,165 individuals supported, our team and volunteers showed up with compassion, dignity, and a commitment to making sure every neighbour feels seen and supported.

We welcomed 58 new clients, rescued over 50,000 kg of food, and turned it into meals that nourish families, seniors, and children. Thanks to our Perishable Food Recovery Program, we reduced over 122,000 kg of CO₂e — proving that feeding our community and caring for our planet can go hand in hand.

No one in our communities should go hungry. And every act of kindness, every donation, every volunteer hour helps make that promise real.

This program operates every day to rescue quality fresh food and redirect it to families across our community.

With uncertainty ahead regarding the long‑term location of our recovery facility, this funding arrives at a crucial moment. It will help us reinforce the program, prepare for potential changes, and ensure fresh recovered food continues reaching the people who need it most.

Thank you to the Canada Post Community Foundation for believing in our work and investing in local food security. Every contribution helps us rescue more food, reduce waste, and support more neighbours. ❤️
