Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank We service the Saanich Peninsula relying solely on the generosity of the community. The Saanich Penin

The Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank "Helps those in need through those who care." We do that in a variety of ways but primarily by providing a food hamper designed to supplement a client's food needs. The Food Bank has been operating since 1984 to help those hurt by a downturn in the economy. Since our modest beginnings we have helped thousands of people. The Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank is

a non-profit, charitable organization run by a board of directors. The Board oversees the Executive Director, staff, and volunteers who run the day-to-day operations of the food bank.

Thank you. Our hearts—and our shelves—are full thanks to the generosity of our community.

2025 brought its share of ups and downs, but one thing never wavered: you showed up when we needed it most. From kind words and grocery store donations, to school fundraisers, to celebrating our 40th birthday with us—every gesture has meant the world to those who rely on our services.

As we rest and reflect on the season with our families, we’re deeply grateful and excited to continue this journey with you in the new year.

Please note: we will be closed from December 24 through January 5.

August 2025 has been our busiest month on record at the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank — and our shelves are now critically low.

With more families than ever needing our help, we’re struggling to keep even the basics in stock. Food insecurity on the Saanich Peninsula is rising, and we’re working hard to meet the growing demand.

We urgently need food donations to restock our shelves and get meals to families immediately.

Most needed items:

School snacks • Juice boxes • Cookies • Crackers • Peanut butter • Jam • Canned fish • Canned fruit • Canned milk • Canned proteins • Condiments • Meal helpers • Baking products

Every item you donate helps a neighbour in need. ❤️
