HOW TO HELP
The Parkdale Community Food Bank lives entirely off of independent contributions from our friends and partners in the community with no government support. Keep reading to learn more about how you can support our mission. ​​​​​

Company Team Volunteer Opportunities
Our team volunteer days are a rewarding opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of food insecurity, barriers our clients face to access services, and the work that Parkdale Community Food Bank does to ensure our community members receive nutritious food with dignity.
​
We have found that Company teams leave the experience with a sense that they have made a difference in the lives of our clients, while strengthening relations among their team's members.

Food donations can be dropped off at 263 Dunn Avenue during any of our hours of operation. We also have several collection points at businesses throughout the city.​
