Our Mission

The Veterans Association Food Bank is dedicated enriching the lives of Veterans by providing assistance and support. No Veteran will be denied a safe and welcoming environment. 

The Veterans Association Food Bank recognizes any person who is currently serving or has honourably served in the Canadian Armed Forces. The Veterans Association Food Bank also recognizes and offers support to those currently serving, honourably discharged or honourably released Commonwealth Allies, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Peacekeepers, Merchant Marines, or Ferry Command (Coast Guard). Support will be extended to spouses, widows, widowers, and any dependent children in need. Proof of military service or affiliation required. 

Veterans Helping Veterans. Our Vision is to implement programs in a safe, welcoming environment - a place Veterans can call home. To build strong relationships within the Veteran Community and regain the sense of Brotherhood that has been lost for some. To never forget that when Veterans need us, under no circumstances, will they be denied. To encourage our Veterans to unmask that silent voice and let them be heard.
