Food Bank and Community Dinners

COVID-19 and the Food Bank

Food Bank

The Glen Rhodes Food Bank is an essential service and remains open while taking extra health and safety precautions. Including but not limited to admitting only 10 people at a time, pre-packaged food in the place of lunch, gloves for volunteers, increased sterilization of the space, and mandatory hand sanitizing before entering the building. If people are sick but still need food, Food Bank volunteers will serve them outside of the building.

Community Dinner

All Community Dinners are cancelled until further notice.

Donating to the Food Bank
Food Bank donations can be made in-person on Monday mornings and Tuesday afternoons and for larger donations, alternate times throughout the can be made available by contacting Clarisse. Aside from non-perishable food, the Food Bank is currently in need of egg cartons and clean, reusable shopping bags. If you would like to make a financial donation you can do that through Canada Helps by selecting "Food Ministry" in the dropdown menu.

Food Hub- Food Boxes
The Food Bank and Community Food Hub are in the process of creating several food box programs that can be delivered to people in the community- those who are in need, and those who would like to order fresh vegetables throughout the spring with proceeds supporting food programs for your neighbours. More details soon!

Thank You Volunteers

We have an incredibly dedicated team of volunteers who work throughout the year to serve vulnerable people. We are especially grateful for their flexibility, digilgence, dedication, and kindness as they continue to find ways to serve people who this pandemic is hitting the hardest. Special appreciation for Clarisse, our Food Bank Coordinator and Ruth ❤️
