Good Cheer Food Bank And Thrift Store
About Us
We are serving an average of 750 families a month in our food bank which resembles a small grocery store. We are proud to be a model food bank for our region.
Good Cheer has developed a cutting edge food points shopping system to provide greater choice in selecting foods.
A one-person household receives 70 points, and for every additional persons 10 extra points are allotted. A four-person family would receive 100 points per month to spend on supplemental groceries.
Many clients are pleased about being able to shop more often and receive more food, especially food of their selection. Several fresh fruit and vegetable bins have been installed, and the donated display freezer and refrigerator cases contain everything from frozen chickens to frozen orange juice.
Good Cheer's Capital Campaign is now at $1,137,000 toward its $1.4 million goal. The Bayview facility is but Phase I in a two-phased project which includes renovating Good Cheer's largest source of self-sustaining revenue: the Langley Thrift Store so that Good Cheer will be able to continue to operate the Food Bank for decades to come.
