We welcome your support to make a difference together!  Food Rescue is different than a food bank, because all our food is ‘pre-consumer’ – rescued directly from an inspected facility (producer, retailer) to ours. 

Our volunteers are Super Heros!  They use their personal vehicles, pay for their own gas and donate their time to travel to donor locations to pick up food donations each week, ensuring good, nutritious food that has reached it’s ‘end of sale’ period (known as “best before”) can have one last opportunity to nourish our community before it is sent to landfill or composting.

Many of our volunteers also donate out of pocket to help purchase the supplies that we need to operate.  We do not receive any operating funds from the City of Barrie, the Province of Ontario, the Government of Canada to provide this program.

If you wish to help support the food rescue with a $100 contribution or less, please choose one of the items featured here, and contact the vendor to make arrangements.  They are long-term and respected suppliers who have supported us over the years, and they will ensure your purchase reaches us swiftly.

For support over $100, we’d love to connect you to Sarah Ingram at the Barrie Community Foundations, where all donations are invested to ensure they support our organization for the longest possible future ahead.
