At The Heart Of Every Day, At The Start Of Every Day, Is Food!
At the Orangeville Food Bank, we believe that no one should go hungry. We are a non-profit organization that works to ensure that no one in our community goes without food. We provide food assistance to those in need, as well as education and advocacy for solutions to end poverty. We strive to lead in meeting the nutritional needs of our community so that everyone can live a healthy and dignified life.

Our mission is to provide access to nutritious food for individuals and families in our community. We offer a variety of services, from food distribution to nutrition education, in order to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle. We embrace our similarities and differences alike to reinforce the strength of our impact.
