the Centre Wellington Food Bank is ready to lend a helping hand.

Get support.

 
 
 

The Food Bank always welcomes new clients whether you call to arrange an appointment or come to us in need. Our grocery area is organized with self-shop display shelves so that clients can determine their own menus and choose family favourites. Each monthly visit will provide about one week’s worth of food and household items and a volunteer will be on hand to provide assistance.

Clients can also drop in for fresh bread and vegetables any time we are open, but should call ahead to 519.787.1401 to make sure of availability.

In addition to pantry food items, our wonderful volunteers make use of fresh and frozen meat and other donations to prepare, vacuum-pack and freeze healthy meals.

Other ways the Food Bank can help:

Beyond providing food, the Food Bank supports the community as a first stop for those needing help, making connections to other agencies and programs, providing advice in times of crisis, fostering self-esteem through cooking classes and volunteering, sharing its commercial kitchen with not-for-profit groups and supporting those working for social justice and fighting poverty.

Other services include income tax return preparation and filing, computer access when needed, a lending library and connections to legal aid, especially in relation to housing issues.
