The Greater Vancouver Food Bank is charged almost $150,000 annually in property taxes, money the organization's COO says could go to feeding residents.
Food banks across Metro Vancouver have received varying degrees of attention from municipal council candidates, with Richmond and Vancouver food bank directors noting few candidates have heeded to the rapidly rising need for their services.
“We are setting records each month unfortunately; we have registered about 1,000 new clients each month in June, July and August,” Boulter told Glacier Media. City of Vancouver staff have explained food banks don’t fall under permissive property tax exemptions under the Vancouver Charter.
