How to Use the Cobourg Food Cupboard:

Eligibility: You must be a resident of Cobourg; Fenella; Baltimore; Camborne; Coldsprings; Plainville; Rosenath; Gores Landing or Harwood. We will ask you for proof of your address so please bring something (like a utility bill) with you when you come. If you live outside our area, you may click here for a list of food banks in your community.

Come to the back door at 66 Swayne St. Cobourg, anytime from 4:00PM to 5:30PM and you will be given a number. When you are called, you may get your food items and we request that you bring your own bags or cart to carry your items home.

Note: It is very busy at 4:00PM and there are often lineups. If you come around 5:00PM you can reduce your wait time and there will still be the same food items available.

WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED FOOD BANK?

Food banks and food cupboards throughout Northumberland work together in partnership with the Food 4 All warehouse and generous community donations to distribute food to those in need.

Several food items that are distributed are in high demand, are not always available (see the list below)

WHY DO WE ASK YOU?

We ask that you select your preferred food bank or food cupboard and access these high demand items from that site. Collectively we will do our best to ensure you have access to these items at least once per month.

Please note, you are welcome to visit more than one food distribution site in your community each month but please remember that you might not be given the high demand items from these other locations.

For more information, please speak with one of our staff at this location.
