DONATE CASH/CHEQUE IN PERSON
Call us at (506) 634-7403
​to arrange a time to come.

​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 [email protected]. 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.)
IN MEMORIAM
Individuals, families and organizations may wish to honour a deceased loved one through a memorial donation to the North End Food Bank. 
*As a registered charitable organization, we can provide a tax receipt for monetary donations over $20.00. Please be sure to include your name, address, phone number and email address.
CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS
Our corporate partnerships ensure North End Food Bank’s continued success by providing the following:
  • Large food donations (fresh, frozen and dry)
  • Monetary donations
  • Sponsorship for fundraising events, etc
  • Volunteer opportunities
If your organization is interested in helping families in need, call us at (506) 634-7403 or email us [email protected]
DONATE PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES
When Publicly Traded Securities are donated directly to a charity the Canada Revenue Agency does not apply the capital gains tax. 
When you donate your securities to the North End Food Bank the capital gains are not subject to tax, and you will benefit from a tax receipt for the full value of your eligible securities.*
