Oakville News is stepping up to keep the Fare Share Food Bank Oakville Inc.’s shelves stocked with our Oakville News Cares: Food Drive. But we need your help!
For every food package purchased in our online pop-up store, Oakville News will match your gift with a cash donation. Donate Below!
All donations will support the Fare Share Food Bank Oakville Inc, and you can purchase a food package until Dec. 12 at 12 p.m. or until sold out.
Please READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Your credit card will be charged at the time of purchase. We recommend you use a credit card, not a debit card.
This wouldn’t be possible without the generous local businesses and organizations that work hard to make Oakville a better place.
Thanks to Fortinos Neyagawa for donating the food packages for this initiative.

Welcome to our Fare Share Food Bank Oakville, where we are dedicated to fighting hunger and supporting our community. At Fare Share Food Bank Oakville, we collect and distribute food donations to families in need, ensuring that no one goes to bed hungry. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to organize food drives, collaborate with local businesses, and coordinate volunteers to make a meaningful impact. Through our efforts, we strive to create a hunger-free community where every individual has access to nutritious meals and the support they need. Join us in our mission to make a difference and share the gift of food with those who need it most.
We are a non-profit registered charity that has been run entirely by volunteers since 1987.
We currently have about 1,500 households registered with us for support. This is about 5,250 individuals, many of whom are children.
We believe in sharing food and feeding hope – strengthening our community.
Client households may come once per month to our location at 1240 Speers Road Unit # 6, between 3rd and 4th Line.
We are open to clients Monday’s 9:30 am to 2:00 pm and Thursday’s 2:00 pm to 6:45pm.
We are open for deliveries and donations only at various times during the work week. Please call to make sure someone is there to serve you at 905-847-3988.
The bulk of our non-perishable food comes from food drives held at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas and ongoing donations from churches, schools, businesses, supermarkets and others in our community.
Financial donations are vital to our existence. We need them to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables, fish meat, eggs, cheese milk, and a variety of other items.
Food and other items purchased for clients account for about 80% of the money spent by the food bank. The balance of the money goes towards typical overhead expenses.
