Who we are

Feeding our neighbours since 1984

The Moose Jaw & District Food Bank is a local charity serving Moose Jaw and the surrounding district. We collect, sort and share food with individuals and families who need it, and we work on the causes of hunger, not only the hunger itself.

We are not government funded. Our work is made possible by donors, volunteers and partners right here in our community.

Serving since: 1984
