It’s hard to envision what it’s like to have to turn to a food bank to have a meal. But for many in our community, it is a reality they face. Each month we help over 200 individuals by providing perishable and non-perishable food items. This includes families with children, employed people whose low wages don’t cover basic living essentials, individuals on social assistance, and those living on a fixed income such as seniors and people with disabilities. Anyone in need is welcome to use our food bank, there are no requirements and no questions asked.At Julia’s Old-Fashioned Christmas Charity we strive to ensure our food banks provide a stress-free environment allowing our consumers to hand-pick the food they want, comparable to shopping at a grocery store. All food is either by donation or purchased by us using the funds collected from our in-house events, our online auctions and our thrift store profits.
