Holiday Season
Volunteer Opportunities
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.
The Need in Burlington
This year we have seen an alarming 20% increase in the need for assistance from the Burlington Food Bank. As we continue to work towards supporting and feeding our neighbours in Burlington, we recognize the need for education around the issue of hunger.
We know we can, as the Burlington community rise to this new challenge. To learn more about our work and the impact we have in the community, read our 2021 Hunger Report.
