Supporting Community Partners
Gleaners Foodbank provides regional warehousing support for agencies fighting hunger in our community thanks to generous support from foundations, public sector partners, and private donors. Our 8,000 square foot warehouse enables our staff and volunteers to safely and efficiently receive, process, store, and distribute food to community partners throughout our region.
Gleaners Foodbank receives local and corporate donations from across Canada through Food Banks Canada, the National Food Share System and Feed Ontario’s Snap Food Program. These donations are distributed to the region’s food banks based on annual Hunger Counts. Several of the region’s community food banks are members of the Quinte Regional Food Share Shelter (QRFSS) and they visit the warehouse monthly for supplies that are crucial to operating their food bank in their community.
These supplies include perishable and non-perishable food. Surplus food donations are directed to meal programs and non-profit agencies.
