The South Delta Food Bank on Ladner Trunk Road is run by a team of dedicated and compassionate volunteers who receive, sort and distribute weekly donations of food or food purchased with donated funds to 130 people in Ladner and Tsawwassen struggling with short or long term poverty.
Rotary Club of Ladner has contributed $3,500 to the Food Bank as proceeds from its Shred A Thon in April, from the club and, with many thanks, and the many local residents who participated in the shredding event.
The South Delta Food Bank began as a ministry of the Lighthouse Church, but the more the community got involved the more the Food Bank was developed into a stand alone operation.
Joe Canussen, volunteering at the South Delta Food Bank for 23 years, is the coordinator (manager), speaks on the Food Bank's role in the community and as part of a regional network of food banks.
