THE FOOD BANK OF WATERLOO REGION

Founded in 1984, The Food Bank of Waterloo Region (The Food Bank) was the first organization of its kind in Ontario dedicated to providing emergency food to those in need. Thirty-five years after incorporation, The Food Bank continues to evolve to meet the needs of the community and ensure no one goes hungry. As a leader of the Community Food Assistance Network – a system of 100+ community programs and agency partners providing food and connection to vital supports to those in need in Waterloo Region – we acquire and distribute more than 5 million pounds of fresh, frozen and non-perishable food. In addition, we work with provincial and national partners including Feed Ontario and Food Banks Canada (FBC) as part of the Food Bank Distribution Services (FBDS) to acquire and distribute food throughout Southwestern Ontario, including Hamilton, helping programs and agencies continue their essential work.

The Food Bank is a registered charitable organization. Learn more at: www.thefoodbank.ca.
