Partnering with Daily Bread and utilizing the help of our generous volunteers we do what we can to help serve those who are currently encountering hardship in life. The clients can come every week and when available, they get a provision of frozen or canned meat, peanut butter, canned goods, fresh vegetables, dairy products, pasta and rice and other staple food.
Each year we hold summertime Boot Sale fundraisers and a Christmas Bazaar at Westway Christian Church to raise funds to support the food bank. This year, due to Covid, we have not been able to hold our fundraisers so our funds are very low.
We are seeking support from you to keep the food bank going. Please donate funds to help keep our community food bank well stocked with nutrious food for those in need.
We also offer an opportunity for high school students to get volunteer hours through our food bank program. We need volunteers on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM to receive the delivery from Daily Bread and to arrange our stocks in time for the opening of the food bank. We also need volunteers in the evening from 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM to serve the clients availing of our service.
We welcome donations for food that can bless the families who are coming to the Food Bank.
