FOOD CENTRE

The Food Centre at Mission Community Services supports low to zero income individuals and households with staples, non perishable food items, pet food, hygienic products and lightly used clothing. Each month people have a choice over the fresh produce, pantry staples and proteins that they bring home. To ensure everyone has access to food, hampers have options that are responsive to dietary restrictions.

In a month, as many as 320 food hampers for singles and families, serving about 600 people are distributed.

Camper hampers and daybags are provided on a walk-in basis; food hampers are by registration only.
