Thank you for an amazing 2024, full of impact and progress!
As we look back on 2024, we are filled with gratitude for all the milestones we achieved together. This year has brought change, progress, and new opportunities to better serve our community.
Thanks to your support we have been able to:
Increase the number of families served through our delivery program by 30%
Expand the number of families we are able to serve through our drop-in grocery program from approximately 7,000 to over 14,000
Celebrate the monumental milestone of finding our new home at 5 Brock Avenue.
None of these accomplishments would have been possible without your generosity and support. Each contribution, whether it was your time, a donation, or simply spreading the word about our programs, has made an extraordinary impact. Thank you for being part of our community.
Temporary Closure of In-Person Food Programs
As we prepare for our move to 5 Brock Avenue, our in-person food programs will remain closed until the end of January. During this time, our delivery program will continue to operate. If you'd like to support us by donating nonperishable food or personal care items during this time, we kindly ask that smaller donations be dropped off at one of our donation bin locations, which you can find on the map on our website.
For larger donations, please email us at info@pcfb.ca to coordinate a drop-off. Thank you for your patience as we prepare for this exciting new chapter.
