One of the early offers to Vancouver Food Runners came from a coffee shop that closed due to the pandemic and a load of milk and cream that would have been wasted was instead picked up by a volunteer and brought to a food hub.
It’s one of many stories in the short history of the organization, which started matching food donations from businesses to charities in March 2020. The group tugged at the heart of volunteer Dave Major, who picked up the load of milk and cream and brought it to KidSafe BC.
