The Food Bank of Waterloo Region welcomes community groups of various sizes to volunteer at our distribution centre. Volunteering with your group is a great way to connect as a team and spend time together giving back to your community. Visit our Volunteer page for more information.

Financial donations can be made in the following ways:

• Online: thefoodbank.ca/donate
• Phone: 519.743.5576 x 224
• Mail/In-Person: The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, 50 Alpine Court, Kitchener, ON, N2E 2M7

Tax receipts are available for all donations.

Financial donations and sponsorships are important to offset program and operating costs but gifts of equipment, supplies, space and services are also valued. Saving operating and administration costs allows more funds to be made available for food acquisition and distribution where it is needed most. Examples may include: office furniture, office supplies, warehouse supplies, auto repair service, event supplies.

If you are considering a gift in kind, please email donor@thefoodbank.ca for more information.

If you want to give food, you can drop off a non-perishable food item to any grocery store or police, fire, or paramedic station in Kitchener-Waterloo. Check out our most needed items.

Helping neighbours in need is a community effort. Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, food and fund drives provided 1,030,043 meals to people and families in need across Waterloo region. When you host a food and fund drive you are improving the community that you live and work in, and showing people they matter.
