Food Bank
Once a month the Centre provides to its clients a kit of non-perishable food along with some fruits, vegetables and breads.
Used Clothes
Clients may take 10 clothing items per month per person, provided that the total amount does not exceed 40 items for a family with 4 or more. Clients may visit the Clothing Department more than once a month. A nominal fee of $2.00 is due for every visit.
Other Household Items
The Centre has a very limited supply of household items (plates, glasses, books, small electrical devices, shoes, etc.) that are given free of charge to our clients. Some items are sold for a nominal fee which helps the Centre defray some of its costs.
