FOR A LIMITED TIME, YOUR DONATION WILL BE MATCHED BY A GENEROUS DONOR!

We provide FRESH & HEALTHY food to 650 adults and 90 children through our pantry program.

The Shelbourne Community Kitchen (The Kitchen) latest fundraising effort has been given a huge boost by a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous. The donor has offered to match any donations up to $20,000.  

This generous offer could not have come at a better time as the need for our programs has more than doubled due to COVID, and we are having to move to a new location in order to meet the growing community need for food security. We are so grateful for donors who step up at times like this.

We now have over 1,100 members and 830 participants who access programs, has faced numerous challenges over the past year.  We are so proud of how our team pivoted in 2020. We never missed a day of service and went above and beyond to keep healthy food accessible even as our numbers doubled.

Growing need, along with the expense of renovating and moving to a larger space has resulted in the need for additional funding. Due to the move and COVID, The Kitchen has had to rely more grocery vouchers and less on food donations. It is hoped the fundraising campaign will raise enough cash to meet this need as well as help equip The Kitchen for its new opening, expected in early September.  The new location is in Unit 101, 3787 Cedar Hill Road, just a few blocks from the old location.

Donations can be made through the website www.shelbournecommunitykitchen.ca or directly through www.canadahelps.org and search for the Shelbourne Community Kitchen.
