Lac Ste. Anne East Food Bank is a registered charitable society operating in the eastern part of Lac Ste Anne County. The purpose of the Food Bank is to serve as an emergency relief service for individuals/ families in need of such help.
Our boundaries extend from Hwy. 765 on the West to the Rich Valley district on the North, over to the eastern and southern boundaries of Lac Ste Anne County.
The Food Bank operates on a call-for-request, and referral system. You may call and request assistance from the Food Bank secretary, who will process your request onto a client form. This form carries basic information about your family which is kept on file and confidential. Part of your form will be the referral that is necessary for continued assistance from the Food Bank. A copy of the referral form is part of this brochure.
At the time of your first visit, you will be given this form, which you must take and have filled out by a qualified person/ agency. If you should need to use the Food Bank more than once, this form will be requested at the time of your second visit. This referral is good for the calendar year in which it was signed and up to ten regular visits plus a Christmas hamper from the Food Bank. Visits to the Food Bank are limited to one a calendar month.
