Surrey, BC – July 6, 2025 — Guru Nanak Food Bank (GNFB) proudly announces that its 5th Annual Mega Food Drive, held on July 6th, collected an impressive 216 tons of food. Once again, the community opened their hearts to support neighbours in need.
Many local politicians joined the event, encouraging the community to continue donating. Over 100 dedicated school students volunteered and successfully ran the entire Mega Food Drive from 10 AM to 6 PM.
While donations decreased compared to last year’s record-breaking 384.5 tons, GNFB understands this is one of the toughest times for Canadians. We remain grateful and inspired by the unwavering community spirit.
GNFB reminds everyone that if you missed the Mega Food Drive, you can still drop off donations at any GNFB location or donate online at www.gnfb.ca.
On this 5th anniversary, GNFB also celebrates an incredible milestone of 72,000 volunteer hours contributed over the last five years. We especially applaud Laksh, an 11-year-old who began volunteering with GNFB on July 1, 2020, and has now completed 2,765 volunteer hours — an outstanding example of dedication and community service.
We extend heartfelt thanks to all our volunteers, supporters, and donors.
