Thank you for your support!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some tips that will ensure your donation will do the most good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Canned, tinned and dried foods with a long use-by date are most valued.  Canned meat, tuna, and salmon are particularly appreciated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. People don\u2019t always have can openers, so cans with pull-tabs are very handy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Snacks and lunch items for kids are greatly appreciated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Fruits and Vegetables are important in everyone\u2019s diet, but we currently don\u2019t have the facility to store fresh food beyond our pick-up days. If you would like to donate fresh food, or any other food donations, please bring it to the food bank on Thursday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. We have limited space to accept donations of frozen items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Other basic products such as cereal, coffee and tea are also needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. We are only able to distribute individual portions. Bulk items are not allowed to be broken down and distributed unless each item is labelled with ingredients, nutritional information, and cooking\/baking instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Good quality boxes and reusable bags come in very handy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT FOOD ITEMS THAT ARE PAST THEIR EXPIRY DATE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
