Update on Foodbank.jpeg

We are in need of more donations. We are providing for more people every week.

Please note the following:

Donations come to rear door at 131B Rolph St.

Food assistance is provided at middle door with long sidewalk.

 

Food service is provided on Wednesdays only by appointments. Appointments are from 11 am to 3:30 pm.  These are booked at least 2 weeks ahead of time.   Call on Tuesday mornings from 9 am - 11 am for an appointment: 519-688-3434 EXT 201.  Or you can book via email: foodbankappointments@gmail.com

​

​

For those who need food services, when you miss your appointment and do not call, then someone else doesn't get the chance to be assisted due to our intake workers waiting for you. 

 

PLEASE don't miss YOUR appointment.

Food Drive Requests:
If you want to organize a food drive contact the coordinator for more information as to how to do a food drive before you start. We have specific requirements for food drives.
Contact the Coordinator before you start a food drive: coordinatorhhfbtburg@gmail.com

Sincerely

Dianne Clark,

Coordinator of Helping Hand Food Bank

As always the food bank needs assistance with donations.  Delivery needs to be made at our alley way door on Tuesday mornings or Wednesday mornings at 131B Rolph St REAR Door Entrance (Ring the doorbell)  PLEASE check expiry dates.  Anything old we will not accept. We also ask people to not bring us food that has been damaged, opened, or outdated.  It costs us a lot of money to dispose of food that is not acceptable.  DO NOT leave any food outside the doors as it has to be disposed of due to health restrictions.
