The Food Bank is central to the success of the Community Food Assistance Network, providing collaborative leadership support to more than 100 programs in Waterloo Region. We are able to provide food for 3 meals with each dollar donated because of strong community partnerships. Each week The Food Bank distributes more than 70,000 lbs of fresh, frozen and non-perishable food to community programs sourced from food industry and community partners so no one goes hungry. More than 5 million pounds of food is acquired, transported, warehoused and distributed to neighbours in need each year.
