How to
Get Help
SERVICES
Groceries:
This essential service provides staple items to help you keep your pantry stocked. We offer a core supply of non-perishable food items like canned goods, dry pasta, and cereals, as well as crucial fresh items (as available) including meat and milk. Our goal is to ensure you have nutritious building blocks for your daily meals.
Market:
The Market offers a chance to supplement your basic groceries with fresher items. This area provides access to a variety of fruits and vegetables, special dietary needs (gluten free, lactose free, low/no sugar/salt) as well as desserts and baked goods (including breads), based on current availability and donations. We believe everyone should have access to fresh, healthy choices.
Helen's Boutique:
Helen's Boutique offers a free shopping experience for individuals and families in need of clothing. We provide a revolving selection of seasonal clothing suitable for all genders and sizes, ranging from children's wear to adult. Inventory is based on current donations, and availability varies.

DELIVERY
We understand that coming in person can be a challenge. While our volunteers offer a limited delivery service to assist those with health or transportation issues, this service is only available to clients who qualify and register for this service in advance in-person. After registration, deliveries are monthly, booked by Thursday at the latest for following Monday. All requests are confirmed by a delivery volunteer.
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
If you are experiencing a food emergency outside of our regular Monday hours, please do not hesitate to contact our volunteers via phone at (613) 622-2663 (when leaving your message make sure to speak slowly, clearly and leave your full name, details of your request and repeat the phone number twice) or email at info@adfb.ca and one of our volunteers will do their best to connect with you as soon as possible to discuss support. We are open by appointment on Friday mornings for emergency food orders.
OUR LOCATION:
NOTE: The food bank facility is open during limited days/times (as above), during the week. Because the Food Bank is operated entirely by volunteers, and because it is located in a portion of St. John Chrysostom Church, it is not always open for assistance.
St John Chrysostom Church
295 Albert St, Arnprior ON K7S 2M7
Access to the food bank is through the door at the end of the walkway between the church and the rectory. Once inside take the stairwell or ramp down to the basement and turn left.
Our location is partially accessible - it is recommended to call ahead to discuss accessibility.
