Note re: Quest Food Exchange

May 4, 2020 by DABC

During this COVID-19 pandemic, if your Quest client card has expired or is due to expire, Quest will honour all cards for one additional year beyond the current expiry date. There is no need to go into one of their markets to have your card renewed at this time.

Also, all clients that are unable to shop for themselves due to physical restrictions, who are at risk or are ill, can give their client card to another family member, friend or volunteer to shop on their behalf. This is ONLY for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Disability Alliance BC (DABC) has decided to join other nonprofits and service providers in stepping away from the social media platform X ( formerly Twitter). We will keep our account but will no longer actively use the platform, and we will not be reachable through it.

Open by Appointment Only

Disability Alliance BC offers the following ways to access our services: over the phone, virtually, or in-person at our office located in downtown Vancouver. As the demand for our services is very high, we do not take walk-in appointments.

Since 1977, Disability Alliance BC has been a provincial, cross-disability voice in British Columbia. Our mission is to promote a more inclusive and equitable society for people with all disabilities through direct services, community partnerships, systemic advocacy, research, and publications.

We acknowledge and have deep gratitude to work together on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Selíl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations of the Coast Salish people. We honour the many territorial keepers of the lands.

DABC is a proud member of the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD)and BC Poverty Reduction Coalition.

DABC is proud to be certified as a Living Wage Employer by Living Wage for Families BC! We are glad to be able to support our staff to feel valued in their roles and provide them with the opportunity to thrive in their communities.
