How To Donate
Every donation—whether food or funds—helps us provide meals to people in our community. If you’d like to make a difference another way, we’re always grateful for new volunteers too.
Donating Food
We are currently only collecting and distributing non-perishable, shelf-stable food items, with a preference for what can be combined to create three meals.

Donating Money
If you're able to help, please do help.
Monetary donations make a big impact ~ they allow us to buy food in bulk, fill gaps in our inventory, and respond quickly to urgent needs. While food donations are always appreciated, we can’t rely on them alone.
Every dollar helps someone eat.
The easiest way to donate (and only way to receive a charitable tax receipt) is via the Riverside United Church's Canada Helps account.
Cash donations are appreciated but we cannot provide charitable receipts for cash donations of less than $50.00.
We also accept e-transfers to brookfieldfoodcupboard@gmail.com ~ the email confirmation will serve as your (non-charitable) donation receipt.
