Cost recovery in Foodshare programs

Making a Donation - Let us count the ways:

Many people support the work that FoodShare does by donating money or in-kind resources or by volunteering--and sometimes by all three.

Approximately 50% of our funding comes from individual donors. (click here for more information on how we are funded). Some of our donors contribute through a monthly pre-authorized chequing plan, others periodically by credit card or cheque.

Some people do what is known as "planned giving", that is leaving the organization a bequest in their will, or making donations to honour friends or relatives on special occasions.

If you would like to send a contribution "in memory of" a relative or friend, please let us know with a covering note so we can appropriately recognize that contribution in your thank you note. This can be done by mail or online.

Help us replant ourselves! As many of you know, FoodShare has recently moved into a new home. To help us with the costs associated in moving and renovating this location to suit our very particular needs, click here to Help us Replant Ourselves and Help us Grow.

Or you can make a general donation through our secure online donation service by clicking on the Canada Helps link button below.

All of this support is absolutely vital to providing the core funding that keeps our programs going.
