Providing Food to Those Who Are in Need
The SHARE Food Bank provides direct food support to supplement the diets of hundreds of individuals and families each week in the Tri-Cities. We believe people should have access to healthy and nutritious food where they live and in a dignified manner.
Eligibility for Food Bank assistance includes those working, receiving income assistance, pensions or employment insurance and MUST be residents of the Tri Cities, Anmore or Belcarra. Food hampers are distributed at three locations every Wednesday.
Requirements
At the time of registration you must apply in person with current I.D. and proof of address for all adult members of the household, e.g. rental agreement or utility bill. If you do not have this information, please come see us anyway.
No means test required – source of income is used for tracking purposes only.
The Coquitlam Food Bank location has changed. Our new location is: Hillside Community Church, located at 1393 Austin Ave, every Wednesday 12pm – 1:30pm
