Every Bag, Every Week.
Food Share, week by week
Every week, one full cycle.
Fresh produce, pantry staples, and halal and vegetarian options move from pallet to doorstep to hall table. Our three programs are Food Share, After-School Table and Winter Warmth.
Tuesday: pallets arrive from the regional food bank
Wednesday: volunteers sort and bag every order
Thursday and Friday: doorstep delivery for homebound neighbors
Saturday: walk-up pickup at the hall
How to get help
Walk in, talk it through, take your first bag home.
One. Walk in or call
Come to the office or phone us. Nobody is turned away at the door, and you do not need a referral from anyone. Open Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.
Two. A ten-minute chat
Sit down with a coordinator and tell us about your household size and what you need. It is relaxed, private and quick.
Three. Collect your bag
Pick up your first bag the same week, then choose pickup or delivery for the weeks after. Volunteers join the same way at orientation, every first Saturday, 9am.
Questions, answered plainly
Who qualifies, where the money goes and how to help.
Volunteer orientation every first Saturday, 9am.
Do I need to prove income or residency?
No proof required. We ask only for your block and household size.
Can I collect for a neighbor?
Yes, just give their name at the desk and we will pack for them.
What do you do with donated food that can’t be used?
It is composted with the riverside allotment, so nothing goes to waste.
How is my donation spent, and who audits it?
An independent audit is published each March. 92 cents of every dollar goes directly to programs.
Can my workplace or school volunteer as a group?
Yes, up to twelve people, booked two weeks ahead.
What should I bring to my first shift?
Closed shoes and a water bottle. Everything else is provided.
Is Winter Warmth only for heating bills?
No. It also covers blankets, draught kits and radiator repairs.
Does After-School Table serve dinner?
Yes, a hot meal and homework help, on term-time weekdays.
