A.R. Lord Gives Generously to the Food Bank

Food bank Driver Picks up
School Donations
The student council lead food bank drive came to an end on the last day of school. Hundreds of food items plus cash donations were collected for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. The campaign ran for a couple of weeks and many items were collected at the Holiday Winter concert.

A.R. Lord families, friends, staff and the students themselves brought in canned goods, non-perishables and monetary donations as part of this charity effort.  

The Greater Vancouver food bank provides assistance to over 28,000 people every week through 15 depots and over 100 community agencies located in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and N. Vancouver. 

They continue to evolve and also have programs that foster a path towards self-sufficiency with a mission to empower people to nourish themselves by providing access to healthy food, education and training.
