Welcome to The Colchester Food Bank
The Colchester Food Bank is located at 580 Prince Street in downtown Truro, NS serving hundreds of Truro and Colchester County families each and every month. In 2018, 23,912 persons were served -- 7,147 of them were children. Of those, 192 people were first-time clients who had never visited the food bank before.
Colchester Food Bank is a not-for-profit agency that receives no government funding for its day-to-day operations, relying on its generous donors to help provide food for those in need. We employ a Coordinator, Darlene DeAdder, as well as dozens of dedicated and hard working volunteers. The food bank also has a 15-member volunteer Board of Directors.
In 2018, staff and volunteers prepared 9,745 food boxes, totalling 577,140 pounds of food.
*Number of persons served includes repeat clients who visited the food bank more than once in 2018.
Some families may use the food bank once or twice while others need help on a monthly basis.
