What is The Food Bank of Waterloo Region?

Founded in 1984, The Food Bank of Waterloo Region (The Food Bank) was the first organization of its kind in Ontario dedicated to providing emergency food. Thirty-five years after incorporation, The Food Bank continues to evolve to meet the needs of the community, ensuring no one goes hungry. The Food Bank acquired, coordinated and distributed more than 5 million pounds of fresh, frozen and non-perishable food to the Community Food Assistance Network - a system of 100+ community programs and agency partners working together to ensure no one goes hungry. This helped more than 33,350 people in our community struggling to put food on the table.
