It is that time again! For over three decades the Welland community has come together to stock the shelves of the food banks in our city on the first Saturday in November. Last year we raised over $37,000 and 60,000 pounds of food. We are grateful for the generosity of our community!

This year food banks in Welland are continuing to see alarming numbers of visitors who are struggling to feed their families. You can help feed your Welland neighbours by donating online or donating food.

HOW YOU CAN GIVE

Donate Online and receive a tax receipt. All of the financial donations received will go towards bulk purchasing of food items and will help to fill the Welland food bank shelves. We are grateful for all financial donations: https://www.wellandfooddrive.com

Donate food at your doorstep. On Saturday, November 2 between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm over 400 volunteers will be scouring the street, collecting food donations door to door. Welland residents are asked to put their food donations at their front doors by 10:00 a.m. on November 2.

The food donations are brought to Club Richelieu on River Road where they will be boxed and distributed between Open Arms Mission, The Hope Centre and the Salvation Army to fill their food bank shelves.
