Donations
The Food Sharing Project receives about one-third of its annual funding from fundraisers and donations. Our centralized purchasing and delivery model means school staff are relieved of the burden of shopping for food, and it means we can realize cost savings by buying in bulk to maximize every dollar donated. Donations support our delivery model and help us purchase about 10 tons of nutritious food every week. Make a one-time gift or start a monthly contribution by using the secure form below.

Ways to donate
Monthly Donations Help Us Make Plans
In an era of changing government funding priorities, monthly donors play an important role in the sustainability of an organization. Our team can count on the stable monthly income from donors, and we can make confident decisions based on an that expected income each month. Your monthly donation doesn’t have to be a lot, but over the course of a year, it adds up to make an important impact, along with the 80+ other monthly donors (as of March 2025). You can start a monthly donation using the donation form here, or contact us to learn more.

Ways to Give
Monthly Donors
If you are able, we encourage you to consider becoming a monthly donor. Modest monthly donations add up to a big impact over the course of a year. You receive a donation receipt for all your gifts, and The Food Sharing Project can count on anticipated monthly revenue.
Talk to us to learn more.
Third party fundraising
Individuals, families, organizations and businesses are invited to create their own fundraising events with The Food Sharing Project as the beneficiary. There are lots of ideas, from a simple donation in honor of someone’s birthday, to a pledge campaign where donors support the organizer’s goal.

Leaving a Legacy
Over the years, The Food Sharing Project has received several significant estate gifts bequeathed by donors in their wills. These generous gifts have allowed us to invest in our future and plan for the long-term, sometimes allocated to projects such as the purchase of our second delivery vehicle, our first fully refrigerated van, in 2020; or setting aside funds to enhance kitchen facilities in schools so a greater variety of fresh food can be served.

In-kind donations of food
Typically, we do not accept donations of food. We must purchase food that meets provincial nutrition criteria, and we purchase in large quantities – sometimes we cannot accept food that is donated.
Other ways to give back
