Got a stash of reusable grocery bags at home? We’d be happy to take them off your hands!

We’re looking for clean, reusable grocery bags to keep on hand at the food bank. They’re especially helpful for first-time visitors or anyone who arrives without bags of their own.

If you have a few extras you’re no longer using, consider sending them our way. 💚

Sometimes the simplest donations are exactly what we need.

Thank you, Alliston!

Okay, Alliston… look what you’ve done. 💙🍽️

Just three days ago, we launched The Monthly Table with a goal of welcoming 15 new monthly donors this September.

And already, 6 people have pulled up a chair!

That means we’re 40% of the way to our September goal in just THREE days. 🎉

Monthly donors give the Alliston Food Bank dependable support we can count on throughout the year. Whether it’s $10, $20, $25 or whatever works for you, those monthly gifts come together to make a meaningful difference.

To everyone who has already taken a seat — thank you. 💙

🍽️ 21 seats filled.
💙 9 seats still waiting.

Who’s taking the next one?

🌱 Fun Fact Thursday! 🌱

In 2025, the Alliston Food Bank rescued an incredible 52,766 pounds of food!

Through our food rescue program, good food that may otherwise go to waste is collected and shared with local individuals and families.

This would not be possible without our generous community partners and the dedicated volunteers who pick up, sort and organize these donations each week. Thank you for helping us reduce food waste while supporting our community! 💚

🧡 A pretty great way to start the morning...

We had some visitors from Knox Presbyterian Church stop by the Food Bank this morning — and they definitely didn’t come empty-handed!

They arrived with a wonderful collection of food for our shelves, along with a cash donation that gives us the flexibility to purchase the items we need most.

There’s something pretty special about seeing local groups rally behind the Food Bank. It’s people helping people, and those individual acts of generosity come together to make a very real difference for our community.

To everyone at Knox Presbyterian Church who contributed, thank you for filling more than our shelves today. 🧡

We’re so grateful to have your support!

THREE seats taken on Day One! 💙🍽️

Yesterday we launched The Monthly Table with a goal of adding 15 new monthly donors this September.

And before the first day was even over, three people had already taken their seats.

That means we're already 20% of the way toward our goal of welcoming 15 new monthly donors!

To the three people who joined us yesterday — thank you. Your monthly support gives the Alliston Food Bank something incredibly valuable: support we can count on month after month.

There are 12 seats still waiting at the table.

Could one of them be yours? 💙

ALLISTON, WE'VE SAVED YOU A SEAT. 🍽️💚

September is Hunger Action Month, and we're kicking it off with a challenge for our community.

Right now, 15 people support the Alliston Food Bank every single month.

This September, we're challenging our community to help us double that number.

Our goal: 30 monthly donors, 30 seats at The Monthly Table.

Why monthly giving?
Because hunger doesn't take a month off.
Monthly donations give us dependable support we can count on throughout the year when food donations slow down, when essential items are missing from our shelves, and when we need to purchase the foods our clients need most.

And taking a seat doesn't have to mean making a large donation.
$10, $15, $20 - whatever works for you.
Every monthly donor fills a seat; every seat makes a difference.

🍽️ 15/30 SEATS FILLED
There are 15 seats waiting.
Will you take one? 💚

September is Hunger Action Month

September is Hunger Action Month, an opportunity to understand why hunger is growing in communities across Ontario - because record high food bank use in Alliston is only part of the story.

At The Alliston Food Bank, we see every day that the root causes of hunger are being driven by public policies that affect people and families’ ability to make ends meet. But by understanding how poverty and hunger are connected, we can take meaningful action that works towards lasting change.
