Raising food, funds and awareness for food insecurity in our communities
Envision Financial is dedicated to combating food insecurity through various initiatives, from regular fundraising to partnerships and community programs.
Thanks to the unwavering support of our valued members, community partners, and passionate team members, since its inception in 2013, The Full Cupboard, has raised $1,682,063 and collected 90,977 pounds of food for our 11 food bank partners as of 2025.
Hunger touches lives in every corner of our community. Help today by supporting The Full Cupboard. Drop off non-perishable food or make a donation at any Envision Financial branch. Donate online with our community partner Food Banks BC.
All food and funds that are donated to The Full Cupboard, stay in the community that they are collected in.
Let’s make a meaningful difference, because together, we can do more than fill empty shelves. We can help our community flourish.
In partnership with Food Banks BC, we actively address the need
for supplemental food resources through donations of non-perishable
items and monetary contributions. Together, we help provide access to sufficient, nutritious food for individuals and families across the Fraser
Valley, and Kitimat regions.
Through local investment, we strengthen the financial sustainability and operational capacity of local food banks. Our efforts support both
immediate access to nutritious food and long-term solutions that
address systemic barriers to food equity, with contributions
remaining in the communities where they are donated ensuring
meaningful local impact.
Our community and banking teams support and empower diverse
agricultural developments by funding and financing local agricultural projects. From community gardens, workshops and skill building, we
help create sustainable food systems that promote food security,
economic inclusion and climate resilience.
Through collaboration, volunteering and fundraising, we raise awareness and drive action towards achieving SDG #2 Zero Hunger. Through
investing, amplifying community voices and tracking the impact of
our efforts, we help create structural change that addresses the root
causes of food insecurity and promotes long-term community resilience.
With many food banks across our region, we understand that some may receive fewer donations than others. That’s why we created the “Greatest Need Food Bank” category. When you choose this option, your donation goes into a shared pool. Each quarter, Food Banks BC identifies which food banks received the least support, and we distribute these funds equitably, ensuring every community benefits from The Full Cupboard.
Where does the money I donate go?
100% of your donation goes directly to the local food bank you choose. That means your contribution stays right in your community, helping your neighbors and strengthening local support systems. The Full Cupboard is designed to make a visible, local impact.
Can I donate to more than one food bank?
Absolutely! Since you get to choose which food bank receives your donation, you're welcome to support multiple food banks. It’s a great way to extend your generosity across different communities.
Can I donate on a regular basis?
Yes, you can set up a pre-authorized donation to the food bank of your choice, in any amount and frequency that suits you. For example, if you'd like to contribute $20 every other Friday, just let us know. We’ll handle the rest, so your giving is effortless and consistent.
What if I don't bank with Envision Financial, can I still donate?
Definitely! You don’t need to be an Envision Financial member to support The Full Cupboard. You can make a cash donation at any Envision Financial branch, or donate online through our community partner, Food Banks BC.
How do I get a tax receipt?
If you donate online, you’ll receive your charitable tax receipt instantly from Food Banks BC. We’ve covered all administrative fees, so 100% of your donation goes directly to your chosen food bank. For cash donations of $20 or more made at an Envision Financial branch, you’ll receive a tax receipt from the selected food bank twice a year. If you’ve set up pre-authorized donations, you’ll receive a consolidated receipt at year-end.
What does “Greatest Need Food Bank” mean on the donation page?
This option is for donors who want to support The Full Cupboard but don’t have a specific food bank in mind. Every quarter, Food Banks BC identifies which food banks received the fewest donations. We then distribute the greatest need funds equitably to help ensure all communities benefit from the program.
Why was The Full Cupboard set up?
The Full Cupboard was created to address food insecurity in our communities and ensure that no one goes without the nourishment they need to flourish.
