About this service
We also provide a Food Bank for families who have moved out of the shelter, addressing the need for support during their critical transition into stable and permanent independence.
With the lack of safe, affordable housing and the prohibitively high cost of private market rent, it is becoming increasingly difficult for families to make ends meet. The average family moving out of the Red Door into a private market rental is now spending an average of 54% of their income on rent alone (which includes income currently received from the Canada Child Benefit)! This puts them in a very vulnerable position, and at high risk of being homelessness again.
The Food Bank operates weekly at our Violence Against Women shelter. Families who come to our Food Bank are able to receive the fresh and staple foods they need, including culturally specific items, special diet items, and donated supermarket gift cards.
