The Burlington Food Bank is a place where anyone from Burlington can receive help with putting food on their table.
This Holiday Season there are lots of ways to get involved with the Burlington Food Bank. Working in our warehouse, assisting our clients with their food selection, delivering food to their door, or creating content as part of our media team. Volunteering with us is a great way to give your time to help feed our neighbours.
The more we’re needed, the more you’re needed.
This Holiday Season hold a food drive and help feed your neighbours in Burlington.
