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.
Food donations
Drop off at our location, local stores and firehalls. Find out more about where to donate food.
Volunteer
As of June, 2024, our food bank has a long waiting list of potential volunteers.
​
However, as of September, 2024, we do need additional adults willing to volunteer for warehouse duties, able to lift heavy items, 25-30 lbs, if required, minimum one day a week, preferably available Mondays and/or Wednesdays.
​
Fill out the volunteer application and return it IN PERSON to our manager during opening hours.
​
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 Thanksgiving (fall) food drives; email our manager at info@rhfoodbank.ca with your inquiry.
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 Thanksgiving food drives, in the fall of 2024, we would like to help make that happen; email info@rhfoodbank.ca
