About the program

The Full Shelves Program is vital to the support that we provide to our food bank network. Through a combination of donated and purchased high quality foods, we are able to consistently deliver long-dated and highly valued pantry staples and fresh nutritious food items that our food banks need the most.

Through valued partnerships with our generous financial donors, the food production and manufacturing industry, and the ongoing commitments of our transportation partners, our goal is to ensure that food bank shelves are full in every corner of the province. Feed Ontario is able to leverage bulk purchasing, to make every $1 go even further.

This purchasing and shipping is made possible by generous financial donors, excellent partners in the food production and manufacturing industries, and the ongoing commitments of our transportation partners.

Thank you to our partners
