With the cost of living increasing every day, and inflation impacting the price of food, rent, and childcare, more and more families need help to meet their most basic needs. FSGV and VPL – two of the longest running organizations in Vancouver – are cornerstone resources for local families, providing tailored supports for people of all backgrounds. This collaboration aims to build strong, empowered communities by connecting individuals and families across Metro Vancouver to the information and assistance they need.
