Belleville’s Food Bank is holding its annual food drive this weekend.
It goes from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
It starts at Market Square behind City Hall.
Gleaners Food Bank Director of Operations Susanne Quinlan says companies, groups, families, and single volunteers are needed.
“We’ll be giving out routes to everybody. A family with a minivan can take a route and do it. We have bigger teams like, we’re really grateful to have the Cadets, ’cause we need a lot of help to canvas this whole city.”
- In 2022, Gleaners Food Bank distributed a total of 10,149 food hampers that helped 3321 families, 13,164 individuals, and 1180 seniors in our community.
- In 2022, they saw a 49% increase in families & individuals who visited Gleaners Food Bank & Michelangelo’s Café.
Food Items Needed: peanut butter, apple juice, canned tuna, pasta & pasta sauce, beans, vegetables, pudding, granola bars, baby food & formula
Fresh Produce is welcomed and you are asked to drop all fresh produce at Gleaners.

The Tri-County Warehouse, which is also housed at the Gleaners Food Bank Wallbridge Crescent location, services the food banks in Picton, Wellington, Deseronto, Northbrook, Bancroft, Marmora and Lake, and Stirling-Rawdon.
