OUR HOURS OF OPERATION HAVE CHANGED

A "Client Choice Shopping Center" is a model of emergency food distribution that enables clients to select their own food, much like a grocery store, rather than a pre-made hamper that may not meet their unique dietary needs. At our Client Choice Shopping Center ( The Harvest Pantry) we also aim to provide clients with culturally and ethnically appropriate choices.

Anyone facing Food Insecurity, those who  lack regular access to enough safe and nutritious food for normal growth and development and an active and healthy life, are able to access The Harvest Pantry.

Clients facing food insecurity will now need to book an appointment for a Shopping Time. 

Booking Shopping Times starts October 25th.

Note: OUR CASE WORKERS DO NOT ANSWER CALLS; TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT YOU MUST LEAVE A VOICE MESSAGE. 

When you call, select (1) to leave a message with the Harvest Pantry. Please include your name and phone number, and be sure to speak clearly and slowly. A caseworker will return your call within 1 business day to set up your appointment.

One message only, please.

Thank you for your patience as we transition to this new model. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to serving you with the Client-Choice system!

  If you do not have access to a phone you can book in person at the front desk of The Harvest Pantry located at the backside of the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank building at 270 Fairford Street West.
