A New Way to Use the Food Bank
– Starting January 13, 2026
Starting January 13, 2026, Share the Warmth is modernizing its food bank service to make the experience faster, simpler, and more dignified 💛
How it Works starting January 13th, 2026
- CHOOSE your food on an iPad in the Wellington Hall (alone or with a volunteer)
- WAIT in the Wellington Hall until your order is ready
- GO DOWN to pack your food once it’s ready
Why This Change?
- Much shorter wait time
- Simpler visit, less moving around
- Better food management and less waste
- More autonomy — or help, depending on your needs
Thank you for being part of this transition toward a more efficient, welcoming, and community-centered experience.
About the Food Bank
Share the Warmth aims to increase access to sufficient, healthy and culturally appropriate food because it is an essential part of any community. The Food Bank provides a four- to five-day supply of food, once per month, to residents of the Sud-Ouest and Verdun boroughs who are trying to make ends meet.
The food bank follows a choice-based model. This provides individuals with the ability to choose culturally appropriate food in quantities that suit their needs and the needs of their families.
Access to the food bank is free.

Get more bang for your buck!
Financial donations have a greater impact on fighting hunger in our community. Through bulk purchasing and reduced rates, every $10 you donate allows us to buy $30 worth of food! Additionally, through conscious purchasing, we aim to provide fresh, healthy and minimally processed food for our members.
Food Donations
Donations of non-perishable foods are greatly appreciated.
Our largest food drive – Share the Holiday Spirit – takes place during the holiday season. Companies, schools and community members make teams and buy “virtual food boxes” and collect non-perishable food to support our food security programs. These donations will help stock the food bank for the year ahead.
If you would like to organize a food drive, please contact Bianca at (514) 933-5599 (ext. 231) or by email at info@sharethewarmth.ca
