Food insecurity is at an all-time high. We are currently serving over 1,650 households monthly.
Over one third of our clients are children under the age of 18 One quarter of our clients are seniors aged 60+ According to survey respondents, the top reasons people accessed a food bank this year included food costs, housing costs and low wages or not enough hours of work.Unfortunately, we have had to temporarily pause our sign up and are currently maintaining a waitlist which has reached over 100 families. We are reaching out to our surrounding communities, individuals, businesses, and local organizations in Midland, Penetang, Tiny and Tay to assist in reaching our fundraising campaign goal of $100,000. Money raised will be used for the purchase of food which will support our ongoing customers and those currently on the waitlist. Donations will also go towards our Food 2 Door delivery program which supports seniors and those with mobility impairments to ensure that those unable to visit GBFN still have access to nutritious food.There are many creative ways to assist us with our fundraising campaign. Please reach out to us if you would like further information! You can drop by our location at 230 Aberdeen Blvd in Midlandor contact us by phone at 705-812-6500. Feel free to contact Alex Hamelin, Executive Director at admin@gbfn.orgWe thank everyone for their continued support, we would not be able to support the current 1,650+ households without your generous donations
