Feed Ontario released its 2020 Hunger Report today, revealing that even prior to COVID-19 food bank use was on the rise. The pandemic has had a significant effect on all of us, it is difficult to hear that people that were once in a fairly strong financial situation had now used up their savings, sold assets, borrowed from friends and family and maxed out credit cards.  We are receiving requests for food from Burlington residents that used to donate to the Food Bank and now they need our help.

If you are concerned about the recent FOOD RECALLs that you see from time to time in the news, please rest assured that we at the Burlington Food Bank are made aware instantly through the Federal Government about any food related recalls. We check immediately to see if we have or had anything close to the recalled items. We are very concerned about food safety and take it seriously.

If you are in need or know of someone who could use our help PLEASE have them email us at info@burlingtonfoodbank.ca or call 905-637-2273 to make arrangements to have food dropped at their door or make arrangements to pick it up through our curb-side pickup option. If you live in Burlington, we are here to help. Don’t struggle – give us a call.
