Food of the Month

“I only used the foodbank twice and never intended to depend on it as a regular thing. It was a serious test of my self-esteem. I learned wonderful lessons in humility, empathy and gratitude.”

– Previous client, Foodbank volunteer

“I have had a very good experience with the Orangeville Food Bank, who has just started a pilot program in my building, because the number of seniors were increasing at the food bank. The response has been phenomenal. People line up, and are excited to see fresh pears, grapes, and frozen dinners that were prepared by the local high school.
They work hard to accommodate the seniors and their special diets.“

– Ann, A local senior

The Food & Friends Program brings healthy food to hungry minds. Breakfast, morning meal, snack and lunch programs are offered throughout Dufferin, Wellington and Guelph schools.
