About Us

The Burlington Food Bank has been proudly serving Burlington since 1991. Our role in the community is to collect, purchase, grow, and distribute food directly to families in Burlington who are experiencing food insecurity. A client can visit our food bank once every three weeks, and we provide a full grocery shop’s worth of food and hygiene products. We also provide baby items, such as diapers, formula, and baby food to new parents.

Our Mission, Our Promise

To build food security in Burlington by providing access to fresh and nutritious food with dignity and kindness.

The Burlington Food Bank was formed in 1991 when several small community Churches decided to work together and pool resources to help the most vulnerable in our community. Our organization has grown significantly since that time and now feeds over 35,000 people a year.
