Stittsville Food Bank
Our Mission
The Stittsville Food Bank provides emergency assistance to those in need of food in our community, which includes the villages of Stittsville and Ashton and rural areas of Goulbourn. We distribute non-perishable foods, grocery store coupons and perishable foods when available (meat, eggs, dairy, fruit, vegetables). The Stittsville Food Bank is run entirely by volunteers and has been in operation since 1992.
Demand for Assistance
Every month there are about 50 families who receive assistance from the Stittsville Food Bank. In December 2010, 71 families received a Christmas Hamper. In October 39 families received grocery gift cards for Thanksgiving. Earlier in the year, grocery gift cards were provided to 25 area families as part of the aster Program.
