Holiday Matching Campaign 2022

Holiday Matching Campaign 2022

By Hajira Hussain in Donation on November 22, 2022


From December 1st until December 31st 2022, Peterson is matching donations up to $10,000! This marks the seventh consecutive year that Peterson has generously agreed to match donations during the holiday season to the Richmond Food Bank Society. We are very grateful for this amazing donation matching initiative that doubles the impact of donations for our neighbours in need.

You can make donations easily and securely online. You can even dedicate your donation in honour of someone special as a memorable holiday gift! Please be sure to write “Peterson” in the “Message for Richmond Food Bank Society” box so we can track the donations.

Other ways to donate:

  • By e-Transfer to treasurer@richmondfoodbank.org
  • Mail a cheque made out to the Richmond Food Bank to 100-5800 Cedarbridge Way, Richmond, BC, V6X 2A7
  • Over the phone by credit card 604-271-5609

Please be sure to mention “Peterson” matching campaign so we can thank our donor accordingly. We are a registered charity and can provide a tax receipt for donations of $20 or more.

Your generosity means so much, especially now, as we continue to serve a record number of people directly affected by the rising food prices and the high cost of renting.

Thank you for your generous donations of funds, which lets us provide nutritious food – including fresh vegetables and fruits, protein-rich foods, and high-quality necessities – to over 2,300 people each week.

Your dollar goes further than you may realize. For every $1 donated, we can give out almost $6 worth of food (based on 2019 data). Donations of funds allow us to procure what is needed most, optimizing our storage space and our use of human resources. This gives your donations a bigger and more immediate impact.

We are grateful to each and every one of our donors, past, present and future, regardless of the size or type of gift (time, funds, or resources). Thank you, Peterson, for your generous support of our neighbours in need and for encouraging the spirit of giving in our generous community!
