Today we serve over 1500 people each month, with 1 in 12
households in our community accessing our services during the year.
Nearly half of the people we help feed are children.
The generosity of our donors and our volunteers plays a very important part in helping us to serve the number of families that we do. Together, with our community partners, volunteers and you. we support local initiatives that seek to end hunger and the root causes of food insecurity in our community.
"I found myself unemployed due to CO-VID. As a father, unable to provide for my large family and the bills pilling up, I catch myself wondering how we were going to make it through this pandemic. Would my kids go hungry because the bills needed to be paid? Where could I turn to for help? Then someone suggested the Food Bank. Feeling ashamed but with no were to turn I reached out. After a brief conversation with one of their kind staff, my worry turned to relief. They provided me with a Hamper of food to sustain my large family. Today things are better for my family, but I will never forget the generosity of the Moose Jaw Food Bank. "
