The Georgina Community Food Pantry (GCFP) provides emergency food service to residence of Georgina. Currently we distribute a four day supply of food each month to upwards of 1000 people. Children receive more than 50 per cent of the food we dispense. With this in mind, the GCFP is presently striving to increase the fresh food portion of our food parcels. Each week the GCFP purchases milk, eggs, hamburger meat as well as fruits and vegetables to enhance the nutritional value of the food distributed. While the GCFP continues to deliver this essential emergency food service, we have expanded our role.

The GCFP appreciates the support from members of our community. Your donations make it possible for us to continue our much needed services.
