Thank you to our monthly donors!

Hunger is a daily struggle, our monthly donors have recognized this and enable us to better plan and support more families.  If you are able, please consider making an online monthly gift at here.

Thank you for helping our neighbours in need.

Take care and please be safe.

Executive Director

Following the restrictions placed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are postponing our 35^th annual Food Blitz which had been scheduled for May 2^nd.

Our Food Blitz each spring is an essential food drive for us, as it stocks up our shelves for the upcoming summer months when donations typically slow down. Need for the food bank is great, our future demand is unpredictable, dependant upon the length of the COVID-19 shutdown and what the economic recovery looks like.

Kingston’s Friends Feeding Friends providing groceries to Kingstonians affected by Covid-19

The Davies Charitable Foundation in partnership with the Partners in Mission Foodbank, No Frills Supermarkets, and a community of Kingston philanthropists, is pleased to announce Kingston’s Friends Feeding Friends which will provide over $500,000 worth of groceries to Kingstonians who have lost their income and are in financial distress due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Partners in Mission Food Bank is open.

For our clients:

In order to implement safe social distancing, clients will not enter the building for any reason, therefore our washroom is not available. Please dress for the elements!

At this time, for our afternoon grocery hamper pickup we will ask to see identification only. No signature required.
 

Clients will be met by staff at the front and directed to our grocery hamper pickup area one person at a time. Staff will then assist with groceries outside of the building.

A Message from Our Executive Director Dan Irwin:
 

As I complete my first six months as Executive Director at Partners in Mission Food Bank, my first thoughts are how thankful I am to the Kingston community for your continued support. Help has been given by many who want to ensure that this vital piece of the community continues to survive and provide for our neighbours in need.
