How can I support the Fare Share Food Bank?
Food Donations
The Cobourg Fare Share Food Bank drop-off is located at the Northam Industrial Park on Division Street in Cobourg — Unit 17. Food Bank collection boxes are also located at No Frills and the Metro supermarket at Northumberland Mall, and at other participating locations at various times throughout the year.
Port Hope Fare Share donations are received year-round in the basement of Port Hope United Church on South Street, just east of Pine Street North. Food Bank collection boxes are also located at the Metro and Davis’ Independent grocery stores. Other collection locations are available in Port Hope seasonally.
In certain circumstances, we are able to collect donations from your location. Please contact us if you'd like to arrange for someone to pick-up your contribution to the food bank.
Fare Share will gladly receive your donations of food and other necessities as listed in the Donation Guidelines. Please visit our site frequently for updates regarding what items we're most in need of, or follow us on Twitter or Facebook to receive instant updates.
Financial donations
The Fare Share Food Bank also receives donations of funds from individuals or groups. You can contribute to Fare Share through Canada Helps online, or by visiting the Bank of Montreal branches in Port Hope or Cobourg and making a deposit into the Fare Share Northumberland account. Tax receipts are available.
