Food Bank
Ailsa Craig Food Bank access remains once monthly and by delivery only for now. To request and arrange a delivery you must contact us by phone 519-293-3637 or email sam.acafb@gmail.com.
Have something to donate?
We are more than glad to receive clean and gently used items. We appreciate the understanding of donors and ask that items only be dropped off during business hours. Too often, people leave items outside operating hours and they are damaged beyond use by bad weather leaving us with the expense of discarding a donation that was intended to help the food bank raise funds.
If necessary, we also offer pick-up of donations by appointment. This has to be arranged around availability of our volunteers and our food bank delivery schedule.
If you want to donate a larger item, please call ahead to ensure that we have room. We don’t like to turn people away after they have made the trip, but unfortunately we have limited space available. At times, we are more than willing to take your item if you are willing to hold it for a few days while we make room. You can take the chance that we might have space, but again, we hate to turn away and upset someone who wants to support the work of the food bank.
We also keep a list of people who are looking for specific items and we can often arrange to have the item sold almost as quickly as it arrives.
