About Us

Empowering Black, African, Caribbean Communities Through Culturally Preferred African Foods.

African Foods, Food Bank is a registered non-profit organization headquartered in Surrey, British Columbia, to provide nutritious culturally relevant foods to the Black, African, and Caribbean communities Canada-wide. 

African Foods Food Bank has been operational since 2018, founded by Kara-Kata Afrobeat Society. In 2024, Kara-Kata Afrobeat Society, Canadian Black Farmers Association, and HeadHeartHand Foundation collaboratively formed African Foods, Food Bank as a non-profit organization to serve our community more effectively and reach more individuals and families in need.

Why Choose Us

Our approach to food security is unique as our food bank not only solves food security issues but also provides employment and work experience opportunities. This helps to create long lasting community sustainability.

Our Process

We locally grow a portion of what we serve our community. Our culturally preferred food produce goes directly into our food bank supplies.
