COVID-19 UPDATE We are happy to announce that we are once again accepting food donations! Please ensure that the best before date is valid for any food donated -- we cannot accept food that is past the best before date.
Masks are now optional inside the foodbank, however you will be asked to wear a mask if you are presenting covid-19 symptoms as a precaution to keep our volunteers and other foodbank users safe. Please be respectful of each individual's choice to wear or not wear a mask.

Feeding Possibility Grant Program
Elliot Lake Emergency Food Bank wants to acknowledge the generous financial support provided by Feed Ontario, through it’s Feeding Possibility Grant Program.
Through this funding program we were able to obtain an industrial air conditioning system to help us reduce the heat created by our industrial freezers and fridges. The heat generated by our refrigeration units, impacted the efficiency of the units as well as creating an unsafe work place and unsafe food storage.
The Elliot Lake Emergency Food Bank is a critical partner in the city’s Community Wellness Program. It supports many agencies in the community and district. We have become a mini hub for the North Shore.
The monies received from the Feeding Possibility Grant ensured that we could continue to provide a safe work environment and continue being a reliable partner in dealing with food insecurity.
