​Your donations are important to us. Financial donations not only allow us to keep our budget stable, it goes a long way when purchasing healthier foods. And healthier foods mean healthier communities.

The facility operates with minimal paid staff and is fully supported by a team of dedicated volunteers.

FOOD DRIVES & FUNDRAISING
​Many local businesses have donated their time to organizing food drives for the North End Food Bank. If your organization wants to host a food drive on our behalf, let us know at northendfoodbanksj@gmail.com. We’ll ensure you receive our support and appreciation.
​
Ideas:

• Get your Workspace Group Raising Money
• Instead of Birthday gifts, suggest a donation to the North End Food Bank
• Get your School Groups Raising Money (We have received generous donations from: Millidgeville North, Samuel de Champlain, M. Gerald Teed, Princess Elizabeth and Centennial schools.)
