Source Food Bank - Langley

South Surrey White Rock Sources Community Resources has been in existence for 35 years.  They were formed when Gateway , an autism support group, Newton Advocacy and South Fraser Women's group merged.  Sources proves support, as they like to say, from the cradle to the grave, from infants to seniors. They were operating a food bank in South Surrey and stepped in to help out with a food bank in Langley when the existing food bank here lost its certification with Food Banks B.C.

Langley Food Bank leased space from the United Church, hired a coordinator and signed up volunteers to operate a facility in Langley.  They provide a minimum of 2 days food per person per week and are organized to provide a shopping type experience for their clients, who are able to select from the available food tomeet their personal tastes.  They are open on Wednesdays only and have 35 volunteers who help them out.

Food is provided from donations from grocery stores and through money donated.  Every dollar donated can buy three dollars of food due to buying power of the food banks.
