Free groceries delivered by volunteers to local shelters and food banks nearly every day of the week.

Creating Future Leaders

Our Roots

Sarbhat da Bhalla — the well-being of all

Founded in 2006 by community members connected to Gurudwara Sukh Sagar, GNFK began as a simple effort to serve cooked meals in the Downtown Eastside. Today it's a registered charity guided by the principles of Guru Nanak Dev Ji — work honestly, remember what matters, and share with those in need.
