About Us
Our Mission
The Sidney Lions Food Bank "helps people help themselves". 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 Sidney Lions Food Bank is a non-profit, charitable organization run by a board of directors. The Board oversees the Administrator and volunteers who run the day-to-day operations of the food bank.
The Food Bank provides food items to support the following agencies:
- Sidney Elementary School Toast Program
- Deep Cove Elementary School Toast program
- Lau Wellness Tribal School Breakfast Program,
- Tsartlip Health Unit
(
Best Babies/Prenatal Program)
- 4 First Nations Bands
