The Salvation Army provides food for hundreds of families and individuals in Fort Erie each month through the financial and material donations of members of our community.  Those accessing the Food Bank vary in age, gender and race but face a common challenge of financial difficulty.

The Salvation Army in Fort Erie is the local member of the Ontario Association of Food Banks and an affiliate of Food Banks Canada.

(prepackaged bags are available for purchase), bring them to our office at 255 Gilmore Rd. or our Thrift Store at 84 Wintemute St.
