🙌 Incredible leadership, incredible results! 🙌

We are sending a huge shout-out to the student leadership team and the Grade 7 class at St. James & St. Ann's School!

These wonderful students put together a "Tower to Heaven" food drive to help support our local community. Thanks to their incredible hard work, creativity, and drive, we received over 1,000 items for the St Josephs Food Bank!

It is so inspiring to see our youth stepping up to make a meaningful difference. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all the students, staff, and families who contributed to help fill our shelves and support neighbours in need. 🍁

A massive thank you to the incredible team from Prospera for coming out to volunteer at St Josephs Food Bank this week! 💙🍂

Not only did they roll up their sleeves to help sort and distribute food, but Prospera also blew us away with an incredibly generous monetary donation. This support goes directly toward helping our neighbours and clients right here in Mission during a time when the need is greater than ever.

It’s local banking partners like Prospera that make our community stronger. When you bank with a credit union that reinvests its profits right back into the Fraser Valley, local families win. If you’ve been looking for a financial institution that truly puts people first, we highly recommend checking out their flexible chequing accounts, competitive mortgage rates, and local advisory teams! 🏦✨

Thank you, Prospera, for your time, your generosity, and your massive hearts! 🛒🤝

🎉 Guess the Price — Winner Announced! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and took a guess at the price of our food items! We had more than 50 guesses, ranging from $10 all the way to $150 — some great guesses and a few very generous estimates! 😄

The actual price was $21.23, and our closest guess without going over was $20.68. Congratulations to Gilles, our winner of the $25 market credit! 👏

A huge thank-you to our wonderful volunteers, Brad and Lisa, for helping make the booth such a success. We couldn’t do it without you!

Join us again at the Mission City Farmers Market on Saturday, October 31 for another fun contest — and more chances to win! 🛍️

If you have any questions please come and see if this could be a fit for you!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hey everyone!

Our staff room microwave at St Josephs Food Bank gave up on us, and our team is currently in need of a working, clean countertop microwave.

If you have an extra one sitting around in your garage or storage that you no longer need (or are looking to rehome), please let me know or send me a DM! We would be more than happy to receive it!

Thank you so much in advance! 🙏✨

A huge thank you to Karl for his generous donation of chips from his vending machine business to St Josephs Food Bank! 🥔✨
When you're not doing comedy, Karl, you're still able to deliver a great crunchline for the clients of the Food Bank. 😉
Thank you for thinking of the Mission Community and adding variety and fun to their palates!

Everyone welcome, no experience required!

• Tickets: $10.00 each
Your admission supports the Food Bank.

Come move your feet so someone else can eat—even if your "swing" looks suspiciously like a frantic shuffle.
