Are you having trouble putting food on the table? If you are hungry and have a postal code that starts with L5L, L5M or L5N, we can help. You can use our Food Bank services once a month to receive 7 to 10 days of nutritionally balanced food, depending on the supplies available.
The amount of food you will receive is based on your family size. If you are in an extreme emergency situation you may be able to obtain food twice a month for a short period of time.
If you live outside of our service area, but are a resident of Peel Region, please visit Peel Region Food Banks to see which food bank is closest to you. If you live in Halton Region, you can find the list of available food banks here
Eden Food for Change is focused on providing access to good food and will always treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve. Our volunteers are passionate about ensuring the experience is pleasant for you.
The first time you come to use the food bank at Eden, we ask that you please come during the first half hour of opening hours.
You will sign-in at the front desk when you first arrive. After, you will meet with one of our advocates who will register you as a food bank user after assessing your situation.
When you come to the Food Bank at Eden as you register you will meet with one of our advocates. Our advocates are trained to know of local resources that can help people living in poverty. Please note that you can ask to speak to an advocate if you need some information at any time.
***Please understand that during your first visit and further renewal visits we will be discussing your financial situation. For this reason it is helpful for you to have knowledge of, or have with you, family and individual income information as well as expense information (for example, OW/ODSP income, employment income, monthly rental amounts etc.)
Our advocate will record your information and register you. Please note that every time you come to the Food Bank you will need to bring your registration card with you. You will then be taken back to our lobby, where a volunteer will call out your name. The volunteer will then take you through our marketplace. Our food is sectioned into similar items, and based on your family size and available supplies you will be able to select a certain number of items per area. You are allowed to choose from available items to select your own family’s preferences.
