Greater Vancouver Food Bank trades harvests with Regina counterparts
In 2017, in an effort to curb food waste, the B.C. government began offering a tax credit to farmers who donate their extra food to registered charities. Since then, the Greater Vancouver Food Bank has seen a boost in donations of fresh produce, which goes to 16,000 clients weekly and to 160 other agencies in Metro Vancouver, Whistler and the Okanagan.
