FOOD DRIVE

Food Drives by donors are always welcome!  We are constantly in need of groceries and monetary donations which can be delivered directly to the Food Bank located at 1240 Speers Road, Unit #6, Oakville. Tax receipts are issued on site. Please call to make sure someone is there to receive you 905-847-3988

NON-PERISHABLES only can be dropped off at all Oakville Fire Stations and at all Oakville Grocery stores, in their collection bins.

Ideas To Run A Successful Food Drive

  • Check this website to see our current needs list.

  • Communicate these needs to your donors.

  • Arrange a date to deliver the donations to the Food Bank.

  • Pack donations in heavy cloth or plastic bags with handles. Replacement environmental bags are available at the Food Bank. (No boxes or plastic containers please. They are difficult to empty and return).

  • Make sure that bags are not over loaded as heavy bags are difficult for children and seniors involved in the Food Drive.

Items That Can’t be Given Out at The Food Bank

  • Outdated

  • Homemade jams, preserves, etc.

  • Items that have been opened.

  • Severely damaged items.
