What We Do

Northumberland Food 4 ALL collects and distributes non-perishable food products to its member agencies throughout the county.

Who We Are

Rob O'Neil, Warehouse Manager shipped the first delivery of food on August 7, 2004 to local food banks.

Since the Northumberland Food 4 All warehouse opened in August of 2004, we have had over 140 groups that have accessed food from the warehouse at least one time with about 95% of these groups accessing food on a consistent basis.  Within these 140 groups we have 10 county food banks, 9 church groups, 53 school nutrition programs and over 70 different community groups that are accessing products from our warehouse.

In the year 2006, these groups accessed a total of 16,176 cases of food products from the warehouse.  With an average weight of 20 pounds per case, these groups received 323,520 pounds of food products from the warehouse this past year alone.  With an industry standard of $2 per pound for this food we can further say that this product received amounts to a monetary value of $647,040.00.

Of the above mentioned 323,520 pounds of food, it has been distributed to the groups as follows:  34% to Food banks, 18% to church groups, 22% to the schools and the remaining 25% going to the various community groups.

All of our food supplies that we have given out to this point have been donated by various suppliers.  These suppliers include Kraft in Cobourg, and through food exchanges with other warehouses located in Kitchener, Peterborough, Toronto and Belleville.  The warehouse has also become a distribution hub for the Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB) where we will not only distribute to these local food banks, but also to food banks in Belleville, Trenton and Newcastle.

In 2006, through the assistance of the County of Northumberland, we installed a new walk-in freezer unit in the warehouse that allows us to now accept all types of food products from donations including fresh, frozen and all dry non-perishable items.  We have also began picking up reclamation product from a supplier in Toronto that greatly increases the variety of both food and non-food items that are available for distribution through the warehouse.

The Northumberland Food 4 All Warehouse is a community partnership which includes:

• Kraft Canada

• Northumberland United Way

• Northumberland County Community and Social Services

• HKPR Health Unit

• Northumberland Fare Share Food Banks

• Food For Thought

• KPR School Boards

In addition to the new varieties of foods, we have acquired a walk-in cooler, a cargo van and a walk-in freezer. All these investments help to ensure that we can continue to provide a consistent supply of food to our members. 

Last but not least we have added a part time person to the warehouse staff that ensures that someone is always available to help these 140+ groups get the food supplies that they need from us during our opening hours of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10am until 4pm.

Thank you to our Funding Partners!
