Service Outreach Area

Our Food Banks target needy people within their specific regions. Due to unemployment or the inability to find jobs after immigrating to Canada, many people representing diverse ethnic, linguistic and cultural backgrounds turn to this service.

Who uses the Food Bank?

Food banks are places of last resort for poverty-stricken people who cannot afford to feed themselves or their families. Anyone can find him or herself among the needy; hunger knows no boundaries.

How does a family register?

Applicants must register with the ICNA Relief Food Bank and meet our financial-need criteria. Due to limited resources, members may use the Food Bank only once per month. This allows us to give help to all impoverished families who are registered with this service.

Where does the food come from?

The ICNA Relief Food Banks are a community-supported project, completely dependent on donations of cash and non-perishable foods. With the support of local community groups, grocery stores, and caring individuals like you, we can organize food collection drives throughout the year to keep our Food Bank well-stocked and open to those in need.
