The donation filled nearly the full capacity of the food bank’s van, and evacuees at the reception centre received urgent supplies.
- On Friday, Aug. 14, St. Joseph's Food Bank in Mission delivered 4,500 pounds of supplies to the Seabird Island Wildfire Reception Centre supporting families displaced by wildfires.
- Executive Director Karen McDiarmid and Operations Manager Suzanne Rouleau organized the effort after contacting Food Banks to coordinate relief support for the Seabird Island community.
- While delivering supplies, McDiarmid observed the evacuation site and stated she was "shocked to see the number of tents for evacuees." "That really hit me," she said.
- The Seabird Island Band extended gratitude for the donation, while St. Joseph's Board Chair Stephen Evans praised the partnership between local agencies in the North Fraser area.
