GURU Nanak Food Bank held the grand opening of its third location on Wednesday. The food bank is located in a mobile unit at the Kennedy Seniors’ Centre parking lot at 11760 88 Avenue in North Delta.
This new location is part of a pilot project approved by the City of Delta, enabling Guru Nanak Food Bank to continue serving North Delta residents from a temporary trailer-based facility. This initiative follows the city’s commitment to support community-driven solutions to food insecurity and comes at a crucial time as the organization is required to vacate its current North Delta location at 11188 84 Avenue due to site development.
Guru Nanak Food Bank currently serves more than 20,000 recipients monthly, including over 4,700 residents in Delta. This pilot project represents a proactive step in ensuring that no one in the community goes hungry while long-term solutions are being explored.
Effective immediately, opening days for both Delta locations have been updated:
New Kennedy location (11760 88 Avenue): Open for recipients on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Existing Location (11188 84 Avenue): Will serve recipients on Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Monday and Tuesday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
