Saluting the volunteers of King Township Food Bank
Over the nearly 20 years of involvement with King Township Food Bank, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of volunteers. Most of our current volunteers have over 5 years of service behind them, a remarkable commitment on their part. They are proud of the status that King Township Food Bank has achieved entirely through volunteer efforts.
Our volunteers have touched the lives of countless individuals and families in that 20 years, and presently provide a monthly offering of fresh and pantry foods to well over 500 people. They know there are more who need assistance, and even this morning there was discussion on how could KTFB make sure that everyone in King knows there are friendly dedicated volunteers willing to serve them. Such is the wish of the volunteers that nobody in King goes hungry!
From an annual budget of a few hundred dollars to one that now exceeds a quarter of a million dollars, volunteers have safely steered the organization to ensure that no one is ever turned away.
Adding the Back to School program and starting up the Giveaway that is now Open Closet have enhanced the activities of the Food Bank in reducing poverty. Adding the annual fundraiser Sip & Savour has helped raise the needed funds to continue to serve those seeking assistance in making ends meet. All of these have added volunteers to the roster; all are totally volunteer with KTFB.
I salute the volunteers of King Township Food Bank, both past and present (for the past makes the present happen). Their dedication and willingness to do ‘whatever it takes’ never ceases to amaze me. I cherish the honour of being associated with such an incredible team.
Join me with a ‘like’ to acknowledge the invaluable contribution they continually make to the quality of life in King Township.

Our Signature Fundraising Event
Sip & Savour
Dubbed as “the cocktail party of the year in King” this gala is the Food Bank’s linchpin fundraiser. The King Township Food Bank, operating entirely on volunteer efforts for almost two decades, has seen a rise in demand by over 50% this year. With these funds, we’ll continue our mission, supplying over 500 individuals monthly with non-perishable groceries, fresh produce, food cards, and more, ensuring no one in the community goes hungry.

In 2023, it adeptly distributed supplies across multiple centers, ensuring every child starts the year equipped and ready.
