		<description>&quot;This is not a supplement for the months groceries, but a relief on the months budget.&quot;

Thank you(s) to the Food Bank for that needed relief. I would like to see more cooperation donations, instead of cooperation self image in the publics eye. I personally  have seen to much waste at the expense of image. If anything. Could it not be marketed as &quot;Only the best will be shared as it has been the best bran picked by are consumer year after year&quot;? I wish I had better slogan:( , but you know what I mean. I come from a very poor country where I sure you that If one person was to die of food poisoning and fifty others could live. So be it! I know it sounds horrible and harsh. I personally would never want that for another human. But to many times this is the harsh truth. I am not bagging on the generosity of the cooperations and private sectors, as  a large amount of financial  donations are made yearly for the operations of the Great Vancouver Food Bank and &quot;staff&quot;. I am just saying, why do we have to waste that little bit more that could have gone that much further? Kim ho, thank you for sharing this wonderful article and yes I will not waste any part of animal eg: steamed fish in soya sauce with green cilantro and extra fine stripes of  ginger  and don&#039;t forget to  eat the fish eyes. As you said (don’t worry, this is a “Chinese thing”)</description>

		<description>Great post! I&#039;m glad that you write a story on the food bank. It&#039;s interesting that every dollar you donate, food bank can purchase $3 worth of food. I&#039;ll be sure to donate money rather than food next time.</description>

		<description>Fantastic and timely post. Thanks KimHo.

There is another organization worthy of mention: The Quest Food Exchange: http://www.questoutreach.org/

They &quot;rescue&quot; food from restuarants and institutions that would normally go to the landfills.</description>

		<description>Hi Kim, great job on doing a post on the food bank.  We often forget the ones who are less fortunate and in need of even the most basic of things.  We often volunteer at the Surrey Food Bank and most people would be amazed at who are the clients.  They are just regular working people who cannot afford food after rent, utilities and other expenses.  The food bank is a necessity and they always need our support.  Once again, thanks for bringing attention to this vital and essential organization.</description>
