The Meaford Food Bank and Outreach was established in 1984 to provide individual, compassionate assistance to people in need in a dignified setting. This assistance comes in the form of emergency food, clothing, and/or shelter. The Meaford Food Bank also builds health and community within the Municipality of Meaford catchment area.
The Goals of the Meaford Food Bank and Outreach are to
- provide a caring, supportive, welcoming atmosphere that addresses the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, issues of those in need;
- ensure a continuous and accessible service to those in need of emergency high-quality food in a dignified setting and referrals for emergency clothing and shelter;
- network with other service agencies, organizations and businesses in the community and surrounding area to promote awareness, and increase support, identify gaps in service, avoid duplication and facilitate referrals;
- offer multi-faceted, integrated, responsive and prevention-focused programming and education that builds health, hope, skills, self-sufficiency and community; and
- foster opportunities for community members to build mutual support networks and connect to resources.
