Why do we distribute pet food at the SHARE Food Bank? 🐾

Claire MacLean, SHARE’s CEO, reflects on a recent visit and why supporting our neighbours means looking beyond food.

For many seniors in our community, a furry companion is an essential source of connection, comfort, and company. Providing pet food means our neighbours don’t have to choose between feeding themselves and caring for a beloved companion. Because at SHARE, food is just the beginning.

What an incredible day at the Tri-City Cycling Club Invitational Ride Fundraiser yesterday!

Thank you to our wonderful partners at Tri-City Cycling Club for organizing such a fantastic event, and to all the cyclists who joined the ride and fundraised in support of SHARE’s Food Bank. We are so grateful for your generosity, enthusiasm, and continued commitment to supporting our community.

Together, we raised an incredible $17,000 to help feed our community!

Your support will help ensure families have access to healthy food during one of the most challenging times of the year. This generosity will go a long way in helping us meet the growing need across our communities during the summer months, when donations traditionally slow while demand continues to rise.

A special thank you to the Coquitlam Kin Club for helping us host this fundraiser and for their outstanding ongoing support of SHARE. We are so grateful for your commitment to our community and for helping make such a meaningful difference!

Last month, we celebrated Canada Day at Lafarge Lake with City of Coquitlam - Municipality! We asked our neighbours to share what they love about Canada and how they see SHARE’s values of hope, generosity, and compassion reflected across our community.

Swipe to see what you had to say!

Thank you to everyone who participated and shared what makes our community such a caring and welcoming place.

These values are at the heart of a strong and caring community. They are also reflected every time a neighbour remembers the Food Bank and helps provide nourishing food to local children, families, seniors and individuals.

This summer, turn compassion into action and help hope grow across our community. Remember the Food Bank and donate today at sharesociety.ca/rtfb
