We're looking to round out our Board of Directors**
If you’re looking for an opportunity to “give back”, and you have the time & energy to help us get where we want to be, we’d like to hear from you!
Dalhousie Food Cupboard is a local food bank serving people living in the West Centretown-Little Italy community. We are situated at the Bronson Centre, where we help 700 people/month, handing out several days of groceries & fresh foods to singles, couples and families. Our clients face food insecurity and we offer as many good food choices as we can. We are working to add additional programming in the next year or two.
What to do next?
We plan to meet with short-listed candidates in late April-early May, although the format of the meeting will likely be a video-conference.
