Ways to Help

How to support the Food Bank:

We need your help, Ancaster!  This year, we have seen a 68% increase in requests for support from families, individuals, and seniors in Ancaster. To ensure everyone in our community has the food they need, we are asking for your help! 

Would you like to donate?

We appreciate and accept:
