Join our team
Backpack Buddies tackles childhood hunger in BC.

We are searching for a Warehouse Associate to join our team and find a long-term career with us, helping to facilitate the distribution of food to kids across BC so they have the chance to grow up with enough food to eat.

Reaching 5,400 Kids
1 in 5 children in BC live in poverty and the vast majority of them face food insecurity. School meal programs help but many children still may not eat at all over the weekend.

This is the 'weekend hunger gap.' Backpack Buddies was launched in 2012 to fill that gap, filling backpacks for 20 children with meals for the weekend.

A decade later, Backpack Buddies is now available in 60 BC communities, in 350 schools, and provides weekend meals for over 5,400 children every week.

Working at Backpack Buddies
Backpack Buddies is energetic and fast-paced where the staff "jump in with both feet" to get things done. As a young and rapidly growing organization, we try to be flexible and adaptable with new challenges we face.
