Every month since April 2019, the Acadia Food Pantry has provided free food to anyone experiencing food insecurity in our community. In 2021, the Pantry served an average of 110 people each month. With increasing inflation, more and more of our neighbours are finding it difficult to afford food for their families.

As a volunteer organization supported by residents of Acadia as well as Christ Moravian Church, Lutheran Church of Our Saviour and McDougall United Church, the Pantry depends fully on donations to operate. 100% of every donation is used to buy food and supplies and donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

Free food for anyone in need. The pantry was originally designed for residents of Acadia and nearby neighbourhoods but it will not turn anyone away.

We continue a monthly distribution schedule on the third Tuesday of the month, 12 noon - 12:45pm.

Donations and Volunteers Welcome!

The pantry is also grateful for the volunteers from the wider community who have been instrumental in allowing the pantry to operate. As many of these volunteers return to work, additional volunteers will be required. The pantry is in particular need of someone with a large vehicle to help collect food from the Spinz-A-Round food rescue program.
