hunger is real: we help!
Our Mission
hunger action month
As the financial health of Ontario households declines and food bank use escalates, hunger Action Month is a great time to donate food or funds. Click on the DONATIONS icon at the top of the page to donate today or drop off a food donation for St. Joseph's Community Food Bank at the Holy Name Church annex. Use the Trafalgar Road entrance across from Pierre's West End Garage.

let’s build better
Food insecurity in Pembroke has grown to the point where our 1980’s era infrastructure, cannot keep up with the expanded need for warehousing and refrigeration space. The Food Bank needs help to fund the capital costs of expansion.
