Food aid for residents of Sud-Ouest and Verdun

FOOD BANK

Everyone should have access to sufficient, healthy food.

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 and our other food programs provide food assistance to food-insecure individuals and families and aim to strengthen the autonomy of its members.

The Food Bank provides a three- to four-day supply of food, twice per month, to residents of the Southwest 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.

Impact

  • 2.5 times more people served at our food bank before the pandemic
  • 2,200 people rely on our food bank each month, 30% of whom are under the age of 18.
  • 822 deliveries were made to people with reduced mobility.
  • 960 new members have registered with our food bank over the past year.

Priorities

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, seasonal, local, and minimally processed food for our members.

Food Donations

Donations of non-perishable foods such as canned fruits, vegetables, and proteins like tuna are always welcome. We also welcome donations of fresh produce, milk, and eggs.

Our largest food drive – Share the Holiday Spirit – takes place during the holiday season. Companies, schools and community members make teams and sell “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
