Without the basic necessity of sufficient food, people face many avoidable difficulties. People with fixed low incomes weaken and become prone to disease. Children cannot learn productively. Single-parent families cannot escape the cycle of poverty. People living with restrictive health conditions and/or disabilities cannot heal and improve their lives. The homeless population is further put at risk.

Quest rescues food from every branch of the local food industry that might otherwise go to waste unnecessarily. Food is then sorted, processed, and redistributed to organizations and people who need it most.

Currently, Quest helps to provide food assistance to individuals and families in the Lower Mainland through our partnered Social Service Agencies, and our four food distribution programs:

• Three Low-Cost Food Stores
• Gift Certificates
• Bulk Food Purchases
• Community Kitchen (under construction)

We encourage a healthy and balanced lifestyle by providing nutritious recipes and encouraging clients to make their own meals with ingredients available for purchase in our stores.
