Food Bank
We are here to help. If you require assistance contact 905.584.2300 for more information.
Food is a basic necessity of life. Without a healthy and balanced diet, all other challenges become even more complicated. At CCS, we understand that individuals and families occasionally need a hand. As a member of the Ontario Association of Food Banks, we strive to provide a non-judgemental, supportive environment to obtain emergency food in your time of need.
Our food bank is somewhat different than most. We provide 3-5 days worth of emergency food, once per month, in the form of food vouchers. We also have a supplementary food cupboard and are able to provide dry goods in a boxed hamper on an as-needed basis. The Caledon Food Bank does not receive any government funding. It is completely supported by community donations.
