SAINT JOHN COMMUNITY FOOD BASKET

The Saint John Community Food Basket was the first food bank in the city and is often a distribution centre for Saint John’s four other food banks. This beacon to the less fortunate was started by four committed individuals in 1984 and has grown to involve more than sixty people. Over time, the need for our service has increased, not decreased. To accommodate that need and to continue distribution to the other food banks, we moved to a new facility with twice the space.
