One of the things that people don’t know about food banks is that we are in the business of trying to put ourselves out of business. We would love it if people didn’t need to use us and whenever we go to our Food Banks Canada or Feed Ontario conferences its one of the conversations we always have around our tables. We discuss ways that people can get out of the struggles they are in and be able to move forward.

We have an advocacy committee with Feed Ontario that we are a part of and we’re always looking for ways that we can help people out. So when a person comes to us we try to help you out in whatever your current stage of life. Whether its just a one-time need or if you need to use us for an extended period of time until you get your feet back on the ground we’re happy to help out.
