Our Mission: To work within our community to gather and distribute nutritious food to those in need, and to contribute to public awareness of the conditions that lead to food insecurity.

Our Values: Our commitment is to serve our clients with courtesy and respect.  We believe the best way to address food insecurity is in collaboration with others.  Volunteerism is our strength and primary resource.  We are accountable to our community for the service that we deliver.  We are responsible and transparent stewards of the resources entrusted to us by our community.

Food Distribution: Currently, the North Bay Food Bank provides pre-packed food hampers to families and single-person households in North Bay and Redbridge.

Food Purchases: Staple grocery items are purchased weekly to fill the hampers, along with eggs.  Our neighbours in need are invited to visit the food bank once every thirty days to collect groceries.

Funding: The North Bay Food Bank does not receive government or municipal funding; it operates solely on donations.  The food bank currently operates with 2 full-time employees, as well as approximately 40 volunteers.

Number of people served in 2017: During 2017, the North Bay Food Bank served a total of 11,050 clients.  This translates into more than 6,300 food hampers being sent home with our clients.
