Our Food Bank relies on the Volunteers to provide the necessary manpower to maintain the day to day operations of the Food Bank. We are so grateful for these Volunteers who give of their time and energy.
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.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
