ELIGIBILITY:
Our Food Bank serves food insecure individuals in Selwyn Township or Curve Lake First Nation only (proof of residency is required). Clients are limited to visiting the Food Bank once per month. At the time of a visit, client will be provided a “Next Visit” slip providing their next possible visit date, which helps us better manage traffic flow.
CLIENT SERVICE GUIDELINES:
The following additional guidelines ensure fair and equitable service to all clients.
- Clients from outside the service area are respectfully requested to visit a food bank in their local area. We can provide people from Peterborough with information on food banks in Peterborough via email.
- Clients are not permitted to pick up for other clients outside their household.
- Any member of the household may pick up for their household.
- Clients living at the same address are considered to be part of the same household, and will recieve one hamper. Note: There are a few rooming houses with the same address that are considered to be separate households. This information is determined in conversation with the client.
DONATIONS:
Donations are so very welcome from our broader community! Drop in the box between our doors on Sunday mornings, or drop-offs can also be made Tuesday afternoons. Alternate arrangements can also be made by contacting the Church office via e-mail: bucoffice@nexicom.net
