SHARE Food Bank COVID-19 Protocols
During the Covid-19 crisis we are concerned about maintaining the SHARE Food Bank Service as well as protecting the health of service users, volunteers and staff. Please check our website www.sharesociety.ca for the most recent information about the SHARE Food Bank as well as other SHARE services.

Food Bank Distribution: 10:00-1:30 p.m. at the locations listed below
Food is distributed on Wednesdays as follows:
- Clients whose last names start with a letter between “A” to “M” are asked to attend the distribution between 10am-11:30am Wednesday

Donations:
Donations are always appreciated. If you would like to make a financial donation you can most easily do this through our website here.
If you would like to donate food, please donate fresh fruit and vegetables. Non perishable foods like rice, canned tomato paste / diced tomatoes, canned fruit, canned fish and meat, canned meals are also appreciated. Thank you for thinking of the SHARE Food Bank.
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 your 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 – the source of income is used for tracking purposes only.
