What does St. Paul's Food Bank receive from donors?
  • What we receive week to week varies with the of year.

What do I receive with my order?
  • We offer three types of orders: Singles, Doubles, and Family.
  • Singles are based on one individual and Doubles are based on two people (Single-parent and child or a couple for example).
  • Family orders are built according to their size. A larger family will receive a larger portion of certain goods compared to smaller families. Our orders are based on a three day supply. We try to tailor our bags to accommodate family sizes.

How often can I seek food assistance?
  • You can access assistance through Feed Nova Scotia once every 30 days.

How do I register?
