Meet our Burnaby Team

I am one of the founding members of the DGH food redistribution program, established in 2020. While volunteering with the Richmond Food Bank and as a member of St. Aidan’s Church, I was invited by Rev. Laurie Deacon to help launch our satellite locations, including Gordon, which I continue to manage today. As a wife, mother, and grandmother, my family is my cornerstone, but I am equally passionate about supporting our food bank community and those we serve. 

Joanne is our Friday morning orchestrator of all dry goods. Together with her team, Joanne manages inventory at the Gordon site, ensures there are enough bags, and orders from the Food Bank. She is the team lead for the volunteers who begin loading the bags to distribute on Saturday. Over 200 bags are prepared every week!

I have served as Treasurer at Don’t Go Hungry, Edmonds Site, for the past four years, and as Senior Site Coordinator alongside three others for over four years. 

I am one of the site coordinators at the Edmonds site of the Don't Go Hungry food program and have been involved in the program since June, 2020. I enjoy my position as a coordinator and am thankful for all our volunteers. My position allows me to meet people of all ages and nationalities and am thankful for their tireless work for this much needed, and growing program.

I started volunteering at DGH around January 2024. I help with the registration team and the volunteer coordination. I enjoy volunteering here, knowing that the food support program at DGH is making a difference in other people’s lives.

I support the registration team in streamlining processes and ensuring smooth event operations. Being part of DGH has been a fulfilling experience, allowing me to connect with the community while contributing to meaningful causes. It's inspiring to see the impact our efforts have on those we serve.
