How it works?

  Our Food Bank seeks to enable members of our community to eat well. Economic precarity exacerbated by the COVID pandemic has increased the demand for this service.

Since the Fall of 2020, our Food Bank has distributed approximately $1 million worth of food, helping some 100 people and families each week. The food aid, though it varies according to the donations received, consists largely of fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, proteins, sauces and canned goods, milk and eggs.

The value of a typical food basket is 100$ in exchange for payment of a $5 fee.

Q: Must I present a proof of identity to access a food basket?

A: No, no documentation is required.

Q: What should I bring with me?

A: You should bring your bags to transport the food. If you wish to receive meat, an isothermal bag and an ice-pack are required.

Q: How many baskets can I receive each week?

A: You have the right to one basket per week. You must register in advance by calling 514-558-2269 ext. 1

Q: Is the service free?

A: A $5 fee is requested to receive a basket. You can obtain one basket free per month upon request, but you must make your request when reserving the basket by phone. 

Q: Do you deliver?

A: Yes, for seniors and people with restricted mobility living in Saint-Henri and Little Burgundy only. The fee requested to receive your basket at home is $10 ($5 for the basket and $5 to cover transportation costs).
