Food Bank Director Margaret Jocz Retiring
After more than 16 years as a volunteer, Marg Jocz has announced her intention to retire later this year. Over the past few years the food bank has experienced unprecedented growth to the point that management of the operation has become a full time job. With Marg’s retirement, a decision has been made to create two new paid positions: Food Bank Manager and Part Time Bookkeeper. Position descriptions may be viewed below.
Marg’s contribution to the growth and development of the food bank will be acknowledged by the City of Pickering at the Civic Awards Ceremony on June 20.

About Us
Established in 1990 as a temporary outreach program by some members of St. Paul's on-the-Hill Anglican Church, the food bank has outgrown several locations.
Unfortunately, the need has not diminished over the years but the base has broadened. We now draw volunteers from across the local community. Over thirty individuals regularly donate their time and efforts to keep the food bank operating. We are also generously supported by many individuals, businesses and organizations. Without the strong support of the community we could not continue to operate.
The food bank is staffed entirely by volunteers.
The food bank is open to clients on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 10 AM - 12 Noon. excluding statutory holidays
Help Us
We depend on the generosity of community members who support our mission and vision. Because food collection is uncoordinated, we often end up with too much of one item and not enough of another. You can help us stock our shelves based on current need. Please check our Current Needs page for the foods in short supply.
