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.
Donations are always needed but please note the following:
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 We also ask people to not bring us food that has been damaged, opened, or outdated.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.
