How to help
Financial donations
Because of your support, we can help adults and families with the groceries they need. Fresh food, seasonal produce and staples to those in need is possible with your financial gift. Your gift is direct support to this mission. Donate now.
Corporations
Groups working together form a special bond when they help those in need. No team sorting activities are needed during the summer months. Clubs or corporate organizations can do a food drive for us, or may decide to take a day to 'give back'. After the Christmas food drives, in the new year of 2025, we would like to help make that happen; email info@rhfoodbank.ca
Food donations
Drop off at our location, local stores and firehalls. Find out more about where to donate food.
Community and Faith Groups
Clubs and groups are welcome to get involved, but because of workplace safety and liabilities and the small size of our warehouse, we cannot accommodate large groups or young children during regular morning hours of operation. No food sorting help is needed until after our Christmas food drives; email our executive director at info@rhfoodbank.ca with your inquiry.
Volunteer
As of July 2025, our food bank has a short waiting list of potential volunteers.
We appreciate the community’s interest to support our work, and our executive director will be interviewing new volunteers in October.
Before applying to volunteer, please carefully review the following conditions. If any do not align with your availability or needs, this opportunity may not be the right fit for you at this time:
1. Volunteer Hours
Our volunteer shifts at the food bank are held Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m
2. Physical Requirements
Volunteer roles require individuals to be in good physical health, including the ability to lift up to 20 lbs.
3. Reference Letters
Volunteers requesting a reference letter must commit to a minimum of 5 months of service, with at least one shift per week. Reference letters are issued only after this commitment is fulfilled and are provided at the discretion of the manager.
If you're interested in volunteering under the conditions outlined above, please fill out the volunteer application form and email the completed form to info@rhfoodbank.ca. Once the application is submitted, selected applicants will be contacted to schedule a brief interview with our manager when a volunteer opportunity becomes available.
