The O’Chiese Community Food Bank is a program that provides all low-income singles and families with food each month. A hamper is built and given out once clients fill out an application with all supporting documents required. The program has two full time, dedicated employees, Kim Littlejohn – Coordinator, and Crystal Whitford – Kitchen Cook/Coordinator. Hampers are given out once a month (normally mid month) and a hot lunch meal is provided the day of hamper distribution. Hot lunch and hamper days are operated at our local community centre; however, office work is set up at the Social Development building.

 

The program started in October 2018. Our first hamper date was the 16th of November, the program prepped 40 hampers. Out of those 40, 23 was given to clients who previously applied prior to the hamper date.

 

The program has also been receiving clothes from numerous donors; therefore, the program has started a small clothing bank for singles and families who are need of clothing. The shop is located at the Social Development building which is open 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Monday – Thursday and Friday 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

 

The program has been getting numerous donations such as food, clothing and bottles. We are encouraging more donations

 

Foodbank staff and volunteers are very happy to see everyone come out! Thank you members and visitors for coming out. Everyone is welcome!
