Help Us Provide Back to School Food Hampers & Knapsacks for 2024

The back-to-school season is a challenging time for many of our clients, especially with the rising costs of food, fuel, and school supplies. We urgently need your help to make sure every child is ready for school this September.

Our Goal
is to secure funds by August 26, 2024, to purchase all the necessary perishable foods, knapsacks, and school supplies. This will allow us to prepare for our September deliveries.
Your donation makes a direct impact!
 For just $250 you can provide a Back to School Food Hamper for a child in need.
  • School Supplies & Knapsack ($100)

    Each child or teen will receive age-appropriate school supplies along with a durable knapsack.

  • Each Food Hamper ($150)

    Filled with essential perishable and non-perishable foods that we often don’t receive through donations, including fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, margarine, juice, milk, and eggs.

Your support also helps cover transportation costs, ensuring the hampers reach single-parent families who cannot access regular food banks due to illness or disability. Additionally, we are committed to fighting food insecurity in School District 42, providing food to students and their families.

Your donation
fills a critical gap in our community. Unlike traditional food banks, we deliver directly to those in need, ensuring that no one is left behind.

Donate and help us reach our goal. Together, we can make a difference this back-to-school season.

Starting December 1st, 2023, "Food Bank On Wheels" has proudly partnered with School District 42 to strengthen food security for students in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows schools.

“My boys and I recommended Food Bank on Wheels!!
This year has already had its toughness and then we add a break up with my children’s father (they are in process of transitioning and prefer males over females, and unfortunately it meant an end for all of us as a family). Lots of struggles now trying to juggle full rent, full bills and full everything on my own and add in covid 19 and no work. I decided to try and better myself to give my boys and I a better life so I enrolled in school on top of my son starting kindergarten and trying to juggle everything doesn’t allow for time to go to a regular food bank and back since I do not have my license as that’s just one expense I can’t add on top of everything else. Not able to go to a regular food bank as my time and stresses juggling everything are already so thin they have been a life saver and the look on my sons eyes when they give him the things he absolutely loves gives me a glimpse of hope and not an absolute failure. I appreciate everyone’s hard work and it’s such a blessing. God bless everyone and thank you so so very much! ”
