Donate Funds
For every $1 donated we can collect, store and distribute $7 worth of food to those in need. Help us put food on our hungry neighbours' tables by donating today.
Donate Food
We distribute approximately 80,000 pounds of food across Durham Region each month and are thankful for each and every donation to help us support those in need in the community.
Volunteer
Our volunteers are the heart of our organization and our most valuable resource. Without their dedication and passion we simply could not do what we do for those facing hunger in the community.
Register Events
Hosting a food or fund drive is a terrific way to support FTND in our ongoing efforts to meet the needs of our community. For more information about how to register your event and to see tools and tips for supporting your efforts, click Register Now.
“Food is such a basic need, it is hard to think of families in our own community struggling to feed their children. A monthly donation makes sense; it is easy and helps Feed the Need in Durham with sustainable funding. There is a need year round, not just at Thanksgiving or Christmas”. says Sylvie Forte, one of our Monthly Heroes.
Thank you to Sylvie and all our generous monthly donors for making a difference.
