Food Bank
Neighbour to Neighbour offers emergency food support in our food bank to 1,200 families (3,500 individuals) per month by providing 5 – 7 days of essential food: fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, bread and vital non-perishable items.
We strive to make good food a priority and ensure our clients have consistent access to food high in nutritional value. A lack of healthy food has lasting effects on people’s physical and mental health. We focus on providing healthy nutritious foods while engaging recipients to help us define and meet their needs. In addition, clients are connected to a variety of additional community resources through our trained community counsellors.
PLEASE NOTE: Food bank participants must have a Hamilton Mountain address, and must make an appointment for each visit at 905-574-1334 ext. 300.
We allow only one household member in the food bank at any given time due to the small waiting area – please be patient.
