Working with registered dietitians, FYFB’s Food Program provides grocery baskets (hampers) that are consistent with the Canada Food Guide. Our hampers consist of basic staples such as rice, pasta, beans, fresh produce and dairy. Click here for an example of a typical food groceries.

Consistent with our values of dignity and respect, FYFB offers clients a grocery store approach in filling their own groceries. With the help of volunteers trained in our nutrition program, clients select grocery items from the main food groups. This grocery store approach is hailed as a best practice as it empowers clients to make a decision based on their individual tastes. The approach also demonstrates accountability to our donors, as it ensures that food is distributed based on our clients’ needs
