We’re pleased to share a Backpack Buddies update, recipient of a $10,000 Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union Community Endowment capacity grant in 2022. The capacity building grant helped to fund the development of a new strategic plan to guide the organization through 2025.
Dedicated to providing weekend meals for children, Backpack Buddies filled 123,192 backpacks with over one million meals in 2021. While their support reaches an amazing 3,800 children in 47 BC communities, statistics show 160,000 children in BC go hungry every single day.
Backpack Buddies wants to change the story for BC kids and we’re very proud to support their programming.
Help us continue to support charities that matter to you! Be part of the giving with a donation to First West Foundation through Canada Helps: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/7023?v2=true
