💚 Community in Action. Compassion at Work. Hope in Every Bag. 💚

This photo tells a powerful story of generosity, teamwork, and love for our community. These incredible volunteers came together to pack bags of nutritious food for the Starfish Backpack Program, helping ensure that children have food on the table when school is out and support when families need it most.

Each bag packed is more than just groceries — it’s a reminder to a child that they are cared for, supported, and not alone. It represents dignity, stability, and hope for a brighter tomorrow. None of this would be possible without the time, hearts, and hands of volunteers and the generosity of donors who believe that no child should face hunger.

✨ You can be part of this mission. ✨
Your donation helps provide consistent, reliable food support to children and families in our community. Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference.

Together, we can continue filling backpacks, strengthening families, and building a community where everyone is cared for. Thank you for supporting the Starfish Backpack Program and for helping us turn compassion into action. 💚

Grateful beyond words for the incredible support we received today! ❤️

A huge thank you to our city mayor- Mayor Brenda Locke for taking the time to join us in service of our community. Your leadership and hands-on dedication truly set the tone for an inspiring day.

We also want to express our deepest appreciation to the members of the Surrey Firefighters Charitable Society. Your generosity, teamwork, and unwavering commitment to helping others brought so much energy and heart to our food-packing event. Seeing firefighters who already give so much of themselves show up again to support local kids is nothing short of amazing.

Thank you as well to The Salvation Army Surrey Ministries for always welcoming your door for us to do this work, and to all our wonderful volunteers!

Because of all of you, we were able to pack hundreds of meals that will go directly to children who need them most. Today was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when community leaders, local heroes, and volunteers come together with one goal: making a difference.

Thank you for helping us spread kindness, hope, and full bellies. 🤝✨

Together, we’re building a stronger and more caring community. ❤️🙌

The Starfish Backpack Program is a weekend Food literacy and availability program created in response to teachers who saw that too many children were coming to class hungry. Many students across the province rely on School breakfast and lunch programs to fill their tummies on School days but when it comes to the weekend, they don’t have the food they need.Starfish Pack was designed to help change that.

Starfish provides packs of 2 breakfasts,
2 lunches, 2 dinners with snacks and fresh fruit to hungry students each weekend of the school year.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Surrey Starfish Program in 2017. Through your generous donations we are able to increase our packs by 10 to 35 in two local schools starting January 2018. There are a lot of hungry children in our schools that could really use our help. Donations from the community will allow us to help.
