NOTE: Please read carefully. We have made many changes to this form.
Beginning March 15, we will only be able to provide one hamper per address per month. We will also be closing the hamper application form when we have reached maximum capacity for food and delivery drivers. We will reopen the hamper when we have fulfilled all the current requests.
The 519 Community Collective is a volunteer organization, committed to ensuring that everyone has the food they need. We are a part of a larger network, working together with other organizations, food banks, emergency food hamper programs, etc. to distribute food to those in need in our community.
We only serve Kitchener, Waterloo & Cambridge
We encourage you to explore and utilize other options first, and our team at 519 Community Collective will do our best to fill the gaps, where possible.
Please be advised that at this time, we need to limit hamper deliveries to ONE every 30 days, per address, as we need to stretch our supply as far as we can. This program is intended as an EMERGENCY resource, only to be utilized once all other options have been exhausted. Thank you for understanding!
Additional Food Resource Options: Please check out these great local supports! Plan ahead if you plan to be in need again next month. Your family is cared for! We all want to help!
You may want to call the program to confirm the hours and services offered.
