Centre Wellington Food Bank

This is a great, community volunteering opportunity.

If you are seeking food for yourself or your family or if you know someone who is dealing with hunger, the Centre Wellington Food Bank is ready to lend a helping hand.

Last year, 672 individuals looked to the Food Bank for help on a repeat basis, 40 per cent of them children. The reasons may be temporary or ongoing: low wages; unemployment; or government assistance programs and pensions that fall short of expenses.

Beyond providing food, the Food Bank is committed to making connections to other agencies and programs, providing advice in times of crisis, fostering self-esteem through participation, sharing its commercial kitchen and supporting the struggle for social justice.

The Centre Wellington Food Bank is a member of The Ontario Association of Food Banks and Food Banks Canada. Click here for more information about the food bank.
