Our Mission

To provide food and other basic necessities to individuals and families in need throughout Port Hope and Cobourg. Help to decrease the dependancy on the food bank.

Our Vision

A community where no man, woman or child goes hungry

Our Values

  • We care for our community as a whole, and for each other as people.
  • We believe no person living in our community should have to go hungry.
  • We believe it is possible, with the help of the community, to make sure our neighbours don’t go without food or basic necessities.
  • We believe we can make a difference.

Our Goals

  • Food Acquisition: Improve our ability to acquire a greater volume of high quality food on a consistent basis and to provide that food as often as we can manage to those in need
  • Community outreach: Reduce hunger in our own community by letting our neighbours understand the need and encouraging those that can to help
  • Hunger reduction: Help to restore the dignity of people in need by helping them provide for themselves and their loved ones
  • Organizational development: Develop the human capital of the Northumberland Fare Share Food Bank to improve our ability to achieve our vision
