We cannot thank Kingstonians along with Kingston’s businesses, groups and organizations enough for your support in 2020.
We received record monetary and food donations. THANK YOU!
2020 was a challenging year for everyone and we anticipate that in 2021 we will experience one of our highest demand years ever.
We wish everyone well in the New Year and please be safe.

Sister Kugel was very involved and supportive of our mission here at the food bank, helping with our annual Food Blitz and assisting our board of directors for many years.
May she rest in peace.

Following the restrictions placed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are postponing our 35th annual Food Blitz which had been scheduled for May 2nd.
Our Food Blitz each spring is an essential food drive for us, as it stocks up our shelves for the upcoming summer months when donations typically slow down. Need for the food bank is great, our future demand is unpredictable, dependant upon the length of the COVID-19 shutdown and what the economic recovery looks like.
