Gleaners is hosting their annual city wide food drive on October 6, 2019. Our kick off start is at noon (12pm) down at Market Square Downtown Belleville.

We ask residents of Belleville to place a non-perishable food item on your doorstep by 12pm Noon on Sunday October 6th. The most needed food items are as follows:

• peanut butter
• apple juice,
• canned tuna
• pasta and pasta sauce
• canned stew
• canned baked beans
• soups
• canned fruit
• gluten free and dietary items

Fresh produce is always welcomed. 

Did you know?

In 2018, Gleaners provided more than 6600 hampers to those in need? This helped over 2200 families feed their households. 

The annual city wide food drive provides us with our largest donation of staple items each year. By having this food drive, Gleaners is able to re-direct their funds to purchase more protein, fruits and vegetables for their clients. 

Get involved with us and volunteer!

We are in urgent need of Volunteers and Neighbourhood Stewards. We are looking for up to 300 volunteers to help us canvas door to door.

We invite participants to travel across the region and be enchanted by the local Wineries and Craft Breweries. With the purchase of your passport ticket you will receive beverage tastings from each participating location as well as food. This tour will feature seven locations:

• Signal Brewery
• Huffs Estate Winery and Inn
• Barley Days Brewery
• Three Dog Winery
• Potters Settlement Winery
• Maple Dale Cheese

The funds raised will help Gleaners Food Bank and the Quinte Regional Food Share Shelter operate and purchase fresh produce for those in need within the region.

Gleaners Food Bank provided over 6600 hampers to households in 2018. This included over 2200 families, over 9400 adults and over 5500 children. In 2018, Gleaners registered over 1000 new clients. When Gleaners Food Bank runs out of staple food items, those food items are purchased.
